The fighting leader Mr. Yukio Nishimoto has passed away. His admirable achievements are not only 8 championships in Pacific Baseball League but also a lot of excellent players he has coached and trained.
Mr. Hisashi Yamada, Mr. Hideji Kato, Mr. Yutaka Fukumoto, Mr. Keiji Suzuki, Mr.Masataka Nashida and many other excellent players under his direction have won their great fames in Japanese baseball history. In my opinion in recent years there is no leader who can be compared with him. Leaders would learn him a lot in these days, such as desperate efforts to victory, coaching for excellent players and establishing revolutionary strategies.
