After two years with the Texas Rangers, Kohei Arihara is returning to Japan. The former Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters pitcher signed a deal this past week with the team at the far end of Japan from Sapporo - the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks.
Here's a card of Arihara from the "All Star" insert from the 2020 BBM 30th Anniversary set (#AS09). This insert set was a tribute to the "All Star" insert set from the 2002 BBM Touch The Game set. The original insert set featured cards for all 23 players who were elected by the fans for the 2002 All Star teams. The 2020 version did not do the same for the 2020 All Star teams for any number of reasons - not the least of which was there weren't any All Star games in 2020 due to the pandemic. Instead the 2020 version had just 12 cards featuring one player from each team.
