Giant Baba when he was a baseball player

Although Baba joined the Yomiuri Giants in 1955, he did not play in the league at all in his first year. Baba was relegated to the second team for his first year, but eventually debuted in 1956 and performed well, earning 12 wins and 1 loss in his rookie year and 13 wins and 2 losses in 1957. Baba at that time won the Nippon Professional Baseball league's best pitcher award.

Despite his success, Baba began suffering eyesight problems in 1957 and was forced to take time off for surgery when it was discovered he had developed a brain tumour. Baba underwent craniotomy at the University of Tokyo Hospital. The success rate of the technology at that time was very low, and the doctor warned Baba he was likely to lose his eyesight completely, however, the operation was successful, and Baba was discharged after a week.

He returned to the camp with a bandage on his head in January 1958. Baba was released from the Giants in 1959 after five seasons, one of the biggest factors was his coach and mentor in Baseball, Hideo Fujimoto left the team.
