Yuasa Yoshio (湯浅 禎夫, Yoshio Yuasa; October 2, 1902 – January 5, 1958) was a professional Japanese baseball player, coach, and manager. Yoshio attended Meiji University. As a rookie manager in 1950 for the Mainichi Orions, he led them to the Central League pennant with a record of 81-34. They defeated the Shochiku Robins in the very first Japan Series. The team went 54-51 the following season before the 1952 season saw scandal. He resigned 77 games into the season. On July 16, 1952, the Orions were embroiled in what became known as the “Heiwadai incident” in which the team intentionally stalled playing in the 4th inning to make sure that the game would not become official before it became too dark to play. When the game was called, fans stormed the field and rioted.[1] Yoshio never managed again.
