At the time, the draft was divided between company and high school graduates, and the Giants decided to nominate company players, so they didn’t have the right to nominate high school graduates in the first round.
Tanaka’s chances of joining the Giants were hopeless, so he cried and consulted with the head of the dorm at Komadai Tomako saying, “There’s no chance anymore.”
This was a famous story that was also published in Weekly Shonen Magazine.

Well, it wouldn’t have been unusual for them to be found all over the country until about 30 years ago.
