Katsuya Nomura, a baseball critic who died in February 2020, was dismissed from the Nankai Hawks coach in 1977. The cause was the “mistress problem”. When asked by the owner of the baseball team, “Whether to take baseball or a woman,” Nomura answered, “I will take a woman,” and chose to marry Sachiyo, who was an affair partner.

Sachiyo’s wife’s habit
Sachiyo had the strength to do nothing.
I didn’t show a bearish side in public, and I never made a soft noise. On the other hand, I was a bearish, negative, and screaming person, and everything was the exact opposite of Sachiyo.
“You are Ushiwakamaru and I am Benkei. I always stand in front of me,” Bring me an arrow or a gun! “I’ve protected you.”
It’s the habit of Sachiyo Nomura during his lifetime. I think that was exactly the case.
Another habit of her was the words, “I’ll do something about it.” In my life, I have been encouraged by this word many times. She was always imposing, as if she had seriously thought that the earth revolves around me.
On the other hand, I couldn’t have such a feeling at all, and I always lived with anxiety. Even in baseball, I always thought that “pitchers have positive thoughts and catchers have negative thoughts.” That is why I think that the combination of pitcher and catcher is called a “battery” that has both plus and minus.
In that sense, I would have been a catcher at work and in private. I would like to talk about the day when Sachiyo’s “I’ll do something about it” was the most encouraging day.
