The Hanshin Tigers of Nippon Professional Baseball’s Central League signed Fielder after the 1988 season, paying him $1,050,000 ($1,968,644 today), including a chauffeur and a full-time interpreter. More than the money, he said, he went to Japan for the opportunity to play every day. In the beginning of spring training, Fielder had a difficult time adjusting to Japan’s baseball culture. However, with the help of Tiger manager Minoru Murayama and Junichi Kashiwabara, he became adjusted to the new environment. The Tigers offered Fielder the position of cleanup hitter, and he became a hero to the local baseball fans, who nicknamed him “Wild Bear” (wild, in Japan, is the image of power; bear, for his hulking presence). Fielder batted .302 and hit 38 home runs for Hanshin in 1989.
In 1993, Fielder signed a five-year, $36 million contract with the Tigers; which made him the highest paid player in baseball for two seasons (1995 and 1996).
