This is the total result of the University of Tokyo in the Tokyo Big6 Baseball League (Autumn 1925-Spring 2022). 1698 losses are the most in the league, and in the spring of 2015, they recorded 94 consecutive losses, which is the worst in the league. The 2011 members couldn’t win even one in the four years they were enrolled.
In the long history of Tokyo Big6 Baseball League, the University of Tokyo has never won the championship, and the highest ranking in history is only 2nd in the spring of 1946. If you settle for 6th place in every year and sometimes escape from the bottom, it becomes a big topic by itself. What kind of motivation do the players have in their practice and games in a team that loses so much? While having such doubts, the author is proceeding with interviews with many OBs of the University of Tokyo baseball club, but in this article, the voices of OBs who continue to play baseball who loved the University of Tokyo baseball club in particular and went out into society while being fully immersed in baseball. I want to introduce.
First of all, Yoshihide Inoue (graduated in 2022, Nagano Prefectural Government) who advanced from the University of Tokyo to Mitsubishi Motors Okazaki. He is a hard worker who passed through the red gate at the end of “3 Nami”.
“Originally, I was aspiring to the University of Tokyo, but I wasn’t studying at all when I was in high school, so I couldn’t reach it at all when I was active. I lost one time and passed the University of Tokyo, and when I learned that I joined the baseball club, I became aware of the University of Tokyo. , I failed even in 1 nami, did not pass in 2 nami, and entered Ichihashi University, which passed in the second half of the schedule. “
