Goro TANICUCHI (HOF)

Biography

The short bio from the Helmar-R319 card back: His strange windup and strong arm assisted him when he pitched almost every game of the 1921 US tour. Born in Saga Prefecture, he pitched for Tomon as well as for Waseda University, where he helped them to back to back championships. Few rivalries in Japan match the pitching rivalry of Goro Taniguchi and Michimaro Ono, the ace of the Keio nine.
