The Japan Times' look back at this month in history recalls the formal opening of the Meiji Shrine baseball park in Tokyo, marked with a ceremony presided over by then-Prince Regent Hirohito. The venue, known today as Jingu Stadium, went on to become one of Japan's most storied baseball grounds and remains a centrepiece of the sport in the country.

Why now: It features in a recurring 'on this month in history' retrospective, drawing interest in the stadium's nearly century-old origins.
