My choice is Wally Yonamine for Japanese Baseball the first American of Japanese descent born in Olowalu, Hawaii. He was also the first Japanese descent to play Football for the San Fran 49er's in 1947. Wally played for the Salt Lake City Bees in 1950 before he went to Japan, playing American style baseball, that the Japanese were not accustomed to and being a Nisei. Wally Yonamine the only American born Japanese League player to be inducted in the Japanese HOF, along with his accomplishments that changed Baseball in Japan.
