Murakami

First Japanese player to play in US.  Lefty reliever.  I think Ohtani should be made aware of that historical note.  Perhaps that and about $500 million cam get him to S.F. next year.

Murakami (he went by "Mashi") did great in the USA. He pitched for single-A Fresno and had 159 strikeouts in 106 innings, 1.78 ERA as a 20 year old. He was called up to the big club in 1964, struck out two of three batters he faced in a single inning, then went on to strike out 15 in nine innings, with one walk and eight hits. 1.80 ERA. As a 21 year old the next year, he pitched 45 games with a 2.81 FIP and an impressive 0.985 WHIP. He ended his big league career with a 5-1 record. A dispute between the Giants and the Nankai Hawks (who owned his rights) ended his MLB career.

Here's the trivia question: In just 1 1/2 big league seasons on the Giants' roster, Mashi played with six Hall of Famers. Name them.
