Taro Baden (59), president of Orix Buffaloes Buffaloes, also vowed to "give back" to Kobe. At the team's facility in Maishima, Osaka, he observed a moment of silence with about 30 team members, including manager Kishida. He revealed that he lost a junior from his days as a member of the Konan University tennis club during the earthquake disaster while working at the Matsuyama branch of Orix Buffaloes Buffaloes. "His face kept popping into my mind," he said, his eyes red.
He has unforgettable memories of watching the fifth game of the Japan Series against The Giants (at Green Stadium Kobe) on October 24, 1996, and witnessing the moment when the team became number one in Japan. He became the new president on January 1st and reaffirmed his determination, saying, "We were able to win the championship thanks to the strength (of the Kobe fans). I want to continue to build a strong team so that we can repay them."
