Never ones to avoid the limelight, the family of baseball legend Nomura Katsuya (69) got plenty of press coverage when they took their latest addition for her first shrine visit. Third son Katsunori (31), who has managed to hang in as a player due to his father’s support, and his wife brought their 5-month old daughter Sayako to the Hie Jinja shrine in central Tokyo for her traditional “o-miya mairi.” The elder Nomura is now manager of the Sidax company team, after a series of tax evasion scandals and court cases involving his acid-tongued wife Sachiyo (72) forced both to give up their main jobs – he as manager of the Hanshin Tigers, she as a TV celebrity. Their other sons are U.S.-based baseball agent Don Nomura and estranged son Kenny, from Sachiyo’s first marriage. Sachiyo was sued for libel by her daughter-in-law in 2001.
