Default Yutaka Enatsu… holy hell, what a badass!

I’m guessing quite a few members here have already read Joe Posnanski’s book, “Why We Love Baseball”

I just picked it up to read while on vacation. I just finished the chapter on the Japanese Walter Johnson, Yutaka Enatsu - holy hell, this dude defines the handle bad assery!

I won’t give it away but the 2 stories they tell to help describe how dominant he was are 2 or the best baseball stories I have read in a long, long time. Do yourself a favor and find a way to access this chapter - this dude was equal parts super skill and killer attitude. It’s as-if Nolan Ryan and Michael Jordan had a love child and raised him to pitch.

Now, I just need to find a cool card of Enatsu to add to my collection!
