2.2 Did you know that ''The Fire stopper''?


There was a professional baseball pitcher. His name was Tsunemi Tsuda. He belonged to the Hiroshima Toyo Carps. He only threw fastballs. He hated to pitch curveballs and sliders.
Batters knew that he would only threw fastballs, but they couldn't hit them. His fastball's maximum speed was about 160km/h, so, he was called ''The Fire stopper''. Unfortunately he had a brain tumor, so he retired in 1991.He struggled, but he died in 1993, when he was 32 years old. It is too young to die.In that year, The carp got a championship as if dedicated to Tsuda.I think Tsuda taught us that the most important thing of sport is not just records but our memorys......

  1. I like the team of Carp because I'm from Hiroshima, so I know him. Do you like him the most? Why did he die? Do you know the reason? I think people never forget him...
