1936

Fumio Fujimura (藤村 富美男) was a Japanese baseball infielder and pitcher who played 22 seasons in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) from 1936 to 1958.

He began his career as a stellar right-handed pitcher for the Osaka Tigers, but achieved his greatest fame as a hitter.

A superstitious player, Fujimura never hurt insects or shaved before games, although hot-tempered, as he was once suspended for physically abusing an umpire.

Fujimura debuted with the Osaka Tigers in 1936, the inaugural season of the Japanese Baseball League.

He split his time between pitcher and second base.

After initially being a starting pitcher, he generally pitched in a relief role thereafter.

Fujimura missed five seasons in the JBL because of military service during World War II.

1946

Fujimura acted as the Tigers' player-manager in 1946, leading them to a 59–46 record.

That was also the last year he spent significant time pitching, going 13–2 with a 2.44 ERA.

1948

He hit for the cycle twice, once during the single-league era (in 1948) and once in the current dual-league era, the only player to do that.

As a hitter, Fujimura finished his career with 1,694 hits, 224 home runs, and 1,126 RBI, with a lifetime .300 batting average.

He was selected a Best Nine Award-winner three times at third base.

1949

With a stat line of 46 home runs, 142 RBI, and a .332 average, Fujimura was the Most Valuable Player in 1949, the last season before the JBL reorganized into Nippon Professional Baseball.

1950

In 1950, Fujimura set the single-season record with 191 base hits.

In 1950 Fujimura led the Central League with a .362 batting average (and setting the single-season hits record), and was a Best Nine Award-winner at third base.

1953

In 1953 Fujimura led the Central League in home runs and RBI, with 27 and 98 respectively.

As a pitcher, Fujimura compiled an astounding winning percentage of .756.

1974

Fujimura was inducted into the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974.

Jim Albright, an expert on Japanese professional baseball, ranks Fujimura as among the top players in NPB history and possibly worthy of induction to Cooperstown.

1977

Fujimura appeared as an actor in the jidaigeki drama Shin Hissatsu Shiokinin in 1977 and Eiichi Kudo's film Aftermath of Battles Without Honor and Humanity in 1979.
