Meikyukai Member
One of the greatest middle infielders in Japanese baseball history, Karita was one of the superstars of the pre-War era. In the 1930s, Karita starred at Hosei University and was a member of the All-Japan team that faced Babe Ruth and the Major League All-Stars on their Tour of Japan. After playing with the Giants on their 1935 tour of the U.S., Karita signed with the Senators for the first season of pro baseball in 1936. He led the league in stolen bases during the 1936 Fall season, and became the Senators playing manager in 1938. In 1938 Spring season, Karita hit .299 with 5 homers and captured the MVP Award. His playing career continued through 1951.
