Taira Fujita Cards
Tigers 1966-84
Meikyukai Member
During the late 1960s and early 1970s Fujita was the premier shortstop in the Central League. The Tigers superstar could do it all. He hit for average (.286 lifetime and topping .300 five times); provided power (207 lifetime home runs and eleven seasons in double digits); had decent speed (leading the league in triples in 196); and was a strong fielder (winning Gold Gloves in 1973, ’75 and ’81). But most impressive of all was his fantastic batting eye. In 1978 he did not strike out for 208 consecutive at bats! In eight out of his last nine full seasons, he struck out fewer than 30 times! Fujita’s career highs included 28 homers, 30 doubles, 10 triples, 12 stolen bases, and a .358 average. He led the Central League in batting, hits, and triples once each, doubles three times, and at bats four times. He was selected to the Central League Best Nine Team six times, and amassed 2.064 career hits.
