  • General Info
General Information
Description
Wallace Kaname "Wally" Yonamine, also known as Wally Yonamine, was a multi-sport American athlete who played in the All-America Football Conference and Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball. Yonamine, a Nisei Japanese American, was born in Hawaii to parents Matsusai and Kikue. A two-sport star, he played running back on the San Francisco 49ers in their second season, becoming the first football player of Asian ancestry to play professional football. In his one season with the team, he had 19 carries for 74 yards and caught 3 passes for 40 yards. His football career ended during the off-season, when he broke his wrist playing in an amateur baseball league in Hawaii. In baseball, Yonamine was the first American to play professional baseball in Japan after World War II. A multi-skilled outfielder, Yonamine was also noted for his flexible batting style and aggressive baserunning during his career with the Yomiuri Giants and Chunichi Dragons.
