Biography: Was born on the day Sadaharu Oh hit his 756th homer. Started playing softball in third grade. Started hitting lefthanded (he does everything else, including playing golf, righthanded). Grew up admiring Dragons third baseman Kazuyoshi Tatsunami. Played in Boys League in junior high. Played on a Boys League Japan national champion in eighth grade. Became his high school's cleanup hitter as a sophomore. Played in three Koshien Tournaments (spring 1994, -spring, summer 1995). Blasted a total of 40 homers in high school. Seven teams wanted to draft him even though he wanted to play for Yomiuri or Chunichi. New Kintetsu manager Kyosuke Sasaki got his draft rights in a drawing when Sasaki pulled the winning ticket, but Fukudome turned them down, choosing instead to go to the industrial leagues. Later, Sasaki would be Fukudome's batting instructor at Chunichi. Played on the japanese olmpic baseball team at Atlanta and won a silver medal, homering in early games against Cuba and Nicaragua and batting .281 with eight RBIs for the tournament (1996). Drafted on the first round (1998). Went 0-27 at one stretch in spring training of his rookie year, but he still was made the Opening Day shortstop. In one amusing incident, he blooped a single to near the leftfield line in a game against Yomiuri. The runner on third scored, but the runner on first, Takayuki Onishi, lost track of the ball and started heading back to first. When the ball fell, he attempted to shift gears and fell down. Fukudome, streaking around the first base bag, didn't notice that Onishi had fallen and he passed Onishi up and was out (9/1/1999 at Tokyo Dome in the seventh inning). Never really became a very good defensive infielder and so was shifted to the outfield in 2001, where, after a lot of work, he has blossomed into one of the finest outfielders in Japan.
