Play Ball! (2020)

I'm continuing my Opening Day tradition of doing a post showing a baseball card from the last year that each of the 12 NPB teams won the Nippon Series - inspired by the series of posts that Night Owl Cards has been doing for a while now for MLB teams.  In a different world this would have happened in March but better late than never:

The last time the HAWKS won the Nippon Series, cards looked like this:

2019 Epoch One #193/SH-024

All 12 current NPB teams have won the Series at least once so there are no "Photo Not Found" teams.
