OK, Opening Day was two days ago but I've been inspired by something
Night Owl Cards has been doing for the past ten years but I just saw for the first time the other day. He's been doing
a post each year that shows a baseball card from the last year each of the 30 MLB teams last won the World Series (well, make that 23 teams because seven MLB have still never won one). I saw that and thought to myself "What a great idea that I could totally steal for NPB!" So here we go with the NPB version:
The last time the
HAWKS won the Nippon Series, cards looked like this:

Wow ... that Shinnosuke Abe 2012 Bandai Owners League 03 #100 card is awesome. Since I am a SF Giants fan, the colors are very familiar.
