Hi again,
After seeing Sean's post that appeared after I hit send on mine, I checked my 2 encyclopedias of Japanese baseball. One of them lists his name as Seiji Shibuya and the other has his name as Seiji Shibutani. The second kanji can be Tani or Ya. There were 3 players that had that last name from 1936 - 2004 (the years covered in my encyclopedias), and one lists all 3 as Shibuya and the other lists 2 as Shibuya and 1 - the Swallows pitcher as Shibutani. I would go with Shibutani since that comes from the Official Encyclopedia while the other with Shibuya is from a fan produced book. It looks like (from the front of the card) that it is from the 1962 set JCM14e in Gary Engel's book. The checklist lists him as Shibuya. Sorry for the confusion, Jeff |
