Whoop-dee-do!! Lookie, lookie everybody!! After much anticipation and dread, Barry Bonds whacked his big ol’ nuts last night into the San Francisco hall of Rice-O-Roni or whatever. Blah blah blah…
People!! Are we all in a Hot Pocket-induced coma or something?? Did we all collectively trip over a bag of Big League Chew and bust our heads open on a stack of Sports Center VHS tapes?? Because apparently, most of us have been sleeping on the hallowed legacy of Sadaharu Oh. Ring a bell, anyone?? Also known as Wang Chenchih?? Does nobody remember his famous “flamingo” leg kick he employed to such great use on the Yomiuri Giants??
Anyways, a long time ago, Oh hit 868 home runs in the Nippon Professional Baseball league. By our count, that’s 112 more home runs than Barry’s “record.” Now, let us bask in his still undefeated glory.

what it makes me realize is that the Japanese had color broadcast in the early 50’s that looked better than our broadcast in the 70’s! i really felt joy in hearing the sound effects used to such great effect as well.
That’s pretty nifty.
Love the site. I just found it today. Awesome stuff.
