Fred Lewis (former San Francisco Giants outfielder) in 2013

Fred Lewis spent one year with the Carp after his major league career was over. He didn’t do much in Hiroshima (batting .268 with just 4 home runs in 300 plate appearances). He had a decent year with the Giants back in 2008 when he hit .282 with 9 home runs in over 500 plate appearances. He now plays in the independent leagues in the USA.

BTW, I mentioned a couple days ago that the home team had won every game of the 2016 Climax Series, and the Carp were the favorites (and had four home games scheduled). Well, that held true for the first five games of the series. However, Hiroshima lost game six at home (and the series). Hopefully it won’t be another 32 years before they get a crack at another one.
