The Honorable Congressman Yamamoto? Former Player Running for Office Wednesday, October 21st, 2026 Former starting pitcher, Yoriyoshi Yamamoto, was known throughout his career as a leader on the field and in the clubhouse, but if things go his way he might soon be known as a leader in Congress as well. The former star announced at a rally in his home city of Omura, Japan that he is throwing his cap into the ring as a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives. His speech promised to "help lead this nation into a new era of progress and possibility," but didn't go into many policy specifics. Former teammates, however, say this is no vanity project - he apparently would frequently talk politics in the locker room, and they say they're excited to see what their old teammate can do in the political arena. |
