Thanks for posting the slug for the photo. Takeo Tabe was a pitcher and he toured with the Tokyo Giants in 1935 and 1936 when they came to the States. He was one of the stars of the first Japanese Baseball League and was killed fighting on Okinawa in 1945. He was one of the first players inducted into the Japanese Hall of Fame when it was founded.
