Valvino Galves, 61, is considered one of the most memorable foreign players in the NPB as well. It is because of his strong performance on the mound.바카라사이트

At one point, he was the most recognized ace of the Yomiuri Giants (1996-2000). However, his attitude was always the problem. He caused fierce friction with opposing players and referees. Then, he became an unwelcome modifier such as "gangster," "bad boy" and "problematic child."

Galves was recently summoned again. The move is related to lifetime honorary coach Shigeo Nagashima, who passed away at the age of 89, on Thursday.

Japanese media reported a brief interview on Sunday. Galves appears in the six-minute video clip. The deceased was his Japanese coach. "(After hearing the ointment), I felt sad last night. In Japan, I only have good memories."

He turned 61 this year, and he looks like Choro in glasses. "I've already forgotten all the Japanese," he laughs, and communicates in Spanish.

"Nagashima has always been a leader who encourages players. He led the team even more brilliantly when he promoted "Make Drama" (winning in 1996). No one says anything harsh. He never treats people as disposable. So the players played harder for the coach."

So far, so good. But he looks totally different when talking about the moment in question. A reporter asks about the 1998 incident. He threw the ball to the umpire out of frustration with the ball decision.

He is consistent with excuses and excuses even long ago.

"In any sport, there are moments when you can't control yourself. That incident was one of them. It was a bad thing, of course, but what's done is done. There's nothing you can do now. There's no regret."

Of course, it was a long time ago. Twenty-seven years have passed. But it is not something we should let go of.

On the mound, he expressed his outright hostility toward the referee's decision. The coach went up. When he thought it was difficult to calm down, he ordered a replacement. Then, as he came down, he threw the ball at the referee as hard as he could.

At that time, the issue roared the Japanese society. Major media outlets covered the news all at once. It also became an issue during regular news hours on airwaves. Public opinion was more sensitive because it was a match between the archrival Yomiuri and Hanshin.

A severe punishment was imposed on the rare case. The NPB decided to impose a severe disciplinary action of suspending the remaining games (July 31). The Yomiuri Giants announced its own disciplinary action of indefinite suspension.

However, the incident comes to an end. Since then, mishaps have continued. In particular, dizzy situations such as batting coach's exit, third base coach's exit, scuffle and scuffle continue in matches with Hanshin.

Then, the two teams issued a joint statement under agreement. It contains an apology for the current situation. That is not the end. Nagashima steps up and bows his head.

"I can't do it like that. I need to take a deeper responsibility," he said, before getting a haircut. He didn't look much different due to his normal hairstyle. Still, some Japanese media outlets called him "shaved." He was 62.

This symbol used to be called "Mr. Professional Baseball." Many Japanese people admire him, saying that he is the best star player after the war (not only in baseball). It was such a painful moment for him. It was because of foreign pitchers

TV Asahi also asks this question. "What did you think when you saw Nagashima's (shaven) hair?" such a question.

But Galves' response is unexpected.

"I remember the director cutting his hair, but is it related to my case? I didn't know," he said, trying to laugh over it. The answer continues.

"It's different for everyone. Some people suddenly grow their hair and cut it short. If it's a girl, she can dye it red or blond. Back then, I felt like, 'Wow, our manager cut his hair.' During that season, I thought Nagashima was also going through a setback. That's why I thought he cut his hair."

The interview turns a bit weird. He changes the question as if a reporter gives a hint. The question is, "What do you want to say to the director about the wild pitching incident?"

Nevertheless, Galves is still struggling. He seems to be a reluctant greeting.

"What do you want to say? To Hanshin? (laughs) Just kidding.... "I want to apologize to the manager. No manager would want to lose a starting pitcher in the middle of the season. That's a pity."

A comment on the article attracts people's attention. The comment is from an ID of "qok******." "I'm a fan of Hanshin. I hated Galves even then. I hope he shows more of these bad guys. I think that's a memorial to Nagashima."

Galves also came to Korea later. He played for the Samsung Lions for one season in 2001.

It was also notorious at the time. Up to 10 wins were recorded in a flash. However, the team disappeared after August. They suddenly returned to Korea. They delayed their return to Korea later.

The club, which was in a hurry, dispatched executives to the local area. They somehow persuaded him and brought him back. However, there was already a gap of more than two months.

He cannot be in good physical condition. He was forced to play the first and fourth games of the Korean Series. He lost a total of six innings and 10 runs. Samsung fans had to wait and see Doosan Bears (4 wins and two losses).
