Card Of The Week June 30

Inter-league play wrapped up last week and once again the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks were the "champions".  This is their eighth title in the 15 years that there's been inter-league play in NPB.  Nobuhiro Matsuda was named Inter-league MVP - here's his card from this year's Calbee Series One set (#007):


Like many NPB players, Matsuda has a little schtick he does after hitting a home run and being congratulated by his teammates.  I should probably do a post some time with as many players as I can find whose post home run routine has been captured on cards.
