 Baseball tells stories that do not always stay on the field. Some of them travel across oceans, through stadiums filled with cheering crowds, and into the harsh silence of wartime. Today’s story is one of those. It begins with a seventeen year old pitcher who faced down Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig without a hint of fear, and it ends on a dark stretch of ocean where a transport ship never reached its destination. Eiji Sawamura lived a life shaped by talent, pride, and a world sliding toward conflict. His right arm carried the hopes of a nation, first on the pitcher’s mound and later on the battlefield. His rise, fall, and legacy reveal a Japan that was discovering professional baseball at the same time it was marching toward war. This episode looks at the extraordinary career and tragic death of the pitcher Japan still calls its lost ace.
