Talk:Black Mist Scandal (Japanese baseball)

Questions about this article
1. Why is it called Black Mist?

2. How is this included: "June 17: Tōkyō Yakult Swallows catcher Toshio Katō is arrested by police for driving without a license. He is benched by the team indefinitely, then is released at the end of the year, joining Toei in 1971." What's that got to do with game fixing?

3. And it says Ikenaga was allowed to return to baseball in 2005. He still played after 30 years? --AW 03:44, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Trying again, anyone have any answers? --AW (talk) 03:09, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I would guess that it allows Ikenaga to work in a secondary capacity (as a coach of some sort) or to earn residuals from merchandise and whatnot. --UnneededAplomb (talk) 03:00, 3 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I've updated and revised the article, including gathering some references, that answers #1. and eliminates #2. I agree with UnneededAplomb that Ikenaga's reinstatement allows him to take part in NPB activities again in whatever capacity may arise. -- stoshmaster (talk) 02:46, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
