The Ginza Ninjas (72-82) have taken 6 of the last 10 pennants, but they flopped this year, dipping down to the sixth spot in the TU South standings... Ginza has never won the Pro Cup in its 32-year history... skipper Huroko Uchiyama's club is solid on the mound, lousy at the plate and above average with the gloves (.974 FA)... the Ninjas have capable pitchers in Hollis Pace (16-9/2.41), Gary Mills (11-8/3.01), Karl Zenger (14-14/3.19) and Ryuji Kaneko (12-20/3.24)... but they get very little run support... Ginza's only productive bats are 1B Roger Lanier (.286) with 21 HRs and 81 RBIs and LF Sadaharu Uchiyama (.276) with 11 HRs and 58 RBIs.
