I am not exaggerating when I know nothing about how professional baseball works.

I have heard that the draft conference was created out of the evils of the "Giants' monopoly."

The Yomiuri Giants won the Japan Series of professional baseball for nine consecutive years, from 1965 to 1973.

So, when I was in elementary school, my friends who were Giants fans told me stories about how strong the Yomiuri Giants were to the point that I was sick and tired of hearing them.

"When The players asked the Director, 'Director, what do you want to do today?' he said, 'Win today's game.'"

He bragged about it.

I have not been able to corroborate this story at this time. However, I think I have heard this story from more than one person.

-----

At the time, I thought to myself as a child, 'I have never heard such an ugly story'

This is because it means that the Yomiuri Giants at that time attracted the best players and unilaterally dominated professional baseball and the game through their financial power and popularity.

"How can he (my friend) brag about such a story? Isn't it instead an "ugly story" that should be hidden ?"

I thought.

This was the same story as the fixed Sumo game.

(This is a paper)

So this story ("Win the today's game") may be a "fictional story that has taken on a life of its own."

If anyone knows the truth with evidence, please let us know.
