==History==
The second oldest baseball stadium in Japan, Meiji Jingu Stadium is one of the few professional stadiums still in existence where Babe Ruth played. In 1934, Ruth joined several other famous baseball players from the U.S., such as Lou Gehrig and Jimmie Foxx, in a 22-game tour of Japan. (Matsutarō Shōriki, popularly known as the father of Japanese professional baseball., organized the American tour; he survived an assassination attempt by right-wing nationalists for allowing foreigners to play baseball in Jingu Stadium.〔("Matsutaro Shoriki: Japan’s Citizen Kane," ) ''The Economist'' (Dec 22, 2012).〕 He received a 16-inch-long wound from a broadsword during the assassination attempt.)
Jingu Stadium was also used for an exhibition of baseball when Tokyo hosted the 1964 Olympic Games. The United States team of college baseball players, including eight future major league players, defeated a Japanese amateur all-star team in Tokyo, 6-2.
