Shosei Go
Shosei Go (Chinese: 吳昌征; pinyin: Wú Chāngzhēng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Gô͘ Chhiong-cheng; Japanese: Go Shōsei; June 28, 1916 – June 7, 1987) was a Taiwanese two-way baseball player who played for the Tokyo Giants (1937–1943, now the Yomiuri Giants), Hanshin Tigers (1944–1949) and Mainichi Orions (1950–1957, now the Chiba Lotte Marines). Only 5-foot-6 and 140 pounds, he was nicknamed "The Human Locomotive" due to his speed. As a left-handed outfielder, he won two batting titles and a stolen base title.
As a pitcher, the bulk of his appearances were in 1946, when he went 14-6 with a 3.03 ERA and 16 complete games. Go also threw the first postwar no-hitter, against the Tokyo Senators in 1946. He hit the first ever home run in a Japan Series, doing so in Game 2 on November 23, 1950.[citation needed]
Go, born Wu Bo (Chinese: 吳波, played on the Kano baseball team and participated in the National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament in 1935 and 1936. After graduating from Kagi, he signed with the Tokyo Giants.
