NPB on Reddit (@NPB_Reddit) sent out a really interesting tweet this morning - in the 14 years since interleague play began seven Pacific League pitchers have hit home runs during the interleague games while no Central League pitchers have homered. He included the list of the pitchers and I thought I'd do a post showing a card of each of them. I had intended to show a flagship card of each player from the same year as when they homered but the latest one - Kenta Uehara who did it yesterday - doesn't have a card in a flagship set this year - at least not so far.
