Talk:Hisanobu Watanabe

From BR Bullpen

I paused to ask a question. Orestes Destrade said that Watanabe was on the Sporting News cover in 1994. Given his performance by that point in his career, can someone tell me why? Or does Destrade have the wrong year? - --Mischa 21:32, 25 May 2006 (EDT)

Here is an eBay listing for the magazine. Watanabe won the first game of the 1994 Nippon Series. --MichaelEng 22:08, 25 May 2006 (EDT)

Thanks. I added that in. I'd forgotten about the NPB focus in the US media during the MLB work stoppage. - --Mischa 22:25, 25 May 2006 (EDT)
