Did Nagashima Shigeo and Matsui Hideki overlap during their playing days?
Nagashima Shigeo and Matsui Hideki’s Era
I want to talk about the relationship between two giants of baseball, Nagashima Shigeo and Matsui Hideki. Interestingly, their active playing days did not completely overlap. Nagashima retired in 1974, the same year Matsui was born. It truly signifies a generational difference.
