It was the birth of a new team under Captain Taniguchi! This classic baseball manga remains forever in memory. A moving story of the successive captains, Taniguchi, Marui and Igarashi, as they build their team into winners through blood, sweat and tears. A winner of the Shogakukan Manga Award, this is an undying tale of the unknown players at Sumiya No.2 Junior High and their devotion to baseball.
