Playback ’94] Nagashima wins the championship by winning the “10.8 decisive battle! Nagashima’s letter of apology to the fans

The first raising of the torso on the stage of Japan’s No. 1 baseball team

On October 22, 1994, the Giants won their 18th Japan Series title in five years, defeating the Seibu 4-2 in the final game at Tokyo Dome. This was the first time Nagashima had flown to the top of the Japan Series stage. Nagashima retired from coaching the following year after leading the team to another Japan championship in the 2000 season.

The Giants won the league championship this season in a dead heat with the Hanshin Tigers reminiscent of 30 years ago, but will they be able to win the Climax Series starting on October 16 and advance to the Japan Series for the first time since 1964?
