Japanese pro baseball legend Nagashima Shigeo has died. He was 89. His former team, the Yomiuri Giants, confirmed the news Tuesday morning. They said Nagashima died from pneumonia. Hailing from Chiba Prefecture, he first rose to stardom as a member of Rikkyo University's team. He joined Japanese professional baseball with the Giants in 1958. Being a clutch hitter and brilliant fielder, he won the hearts of many fans. He also won multiple batting awards, including two homerun titles, and was nicknamed “Mr. Pro Baseball.” Nagashima stopped playing in 1974, but twice assumed the post of the Giants' team manager. He was also the first baseball player in history to be awarded Japan's Order of Culture.
