Baseball's Forgotten Immortal

- The history of baseball is full of larger-than-life characters, but the world home run king Sadaharu Oh seems to always slip through the cracks of that conversation. This is his story. A story of perseverance, dedication, and plenty of home runs.
野球の歴史は実物よりも大きなキャラクターでいっぱいですが、世界の本塁打王である王貞治はいつもその会話の隙間をすり抜けているようです. これは彼の話です。 忍耐力、献身、そしてたくさんのホームランの物語。

We baseball fans knew who Oh was in the 70s. He was actually pretty well known in the States even then
It would be appropriate to induct this man into Cooperstown alongside Ichiro. While he never played in America, you can't look at American baseball now and say he didn't have an impact.
Thank you! I was just telling my son about the Great Sadaharu Oh and I shared this video with him. I remember growing up in the 1970s and watching him and seeing the great respect American baseball players, especially Hank Aaron, had for him. He is truly the greatest player of all time.
My dad loves this guy
I would liked to have seen him in the U.S. as a hitting coach. I love his overall form, and I wonder what he could have taught some of these hitters.
well, he's now a President of Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, where's under him as a president won 7 Japan Series including 4x back to back from 2017 to 2020 and Hawks as an organisation also has a knacks of developing amazing batter such a Yuki Yanagita, Ryoya Kurihara and Kenta Imamiya
Oh destroyed his own legacy even in Japan to a point where his records mean nothing over there anymore, even 868.
王貞治さんを紹介してくれて日本人として感謝致します。
私は中学１年生の時野球部に入りました。スポーツショップで初めてバットを買った時、王貞治さんのサイン色紙がついてあり、そこには王貞治さんの名言として「強い心と強い体」と書いていました。
おそらく米国国民がベーブ・ルースをヒーローと考えるように、日本人の野球少年は王貞治さんを尊敬し、日本のヒーローでした。
ありがとうございます。
どういたしまして。 ゲームへの愛を広め続けてください。
I saw Sadaharu Oh hit many HR at the stadium. If he had played in the US MLB, I believe that he could have at least hit 600 HRS. Why I say this, its because he got almost 40 HR a year average for 22 years!! I say how many Great MLB players back then could establish this even in Japan. Not too many. This means that he was strong enough not to get injured many times, like great ICHIRO!! & also OH hit 868hrs without shooting any DRUGS!!
His batting stance is babe ruth'ish👈🧐
Excellent episode!
Oh is one of the all-time great hitters and sluggers in baseball history. Oh played at a time when NPB's overall quality of play was inferior to MLB's, AAA quality at best, not to mention shorter outfield fences. It's like comparing apples and oranges. NPB has def evolved and with Japan's victory over Team USA in the 2023 World Baseball Classic, Japan can make a case their game can match the US in terms of quality.
Great video my man
Thank you!
Interesting that he almost doubled the HR total of the player that he ended up replacing eventually and who was much revered.
I don't think he would have hit as many home runs in the U.S., but I believe he still would have batted over .300 & driven in a lot of runs.
Great video. Might help to improve mic quality. Also was wondering what movie the modern dramatization clips were from.
By any chance, where could I find the whole movie about Sadaharu Oh?
What movie are the dramatizations from?
He is a great man but
Japanese stadiums at that time were only about 285 feet.
He won't hit 200 home runs.
Korakuen Stadium - where half of his home runs were hit, was 396ft in center, had 361ft gaps in left-center and right-center, and was 288 down the lines. He hit a 510 foot homer there. I think he'd be okay. Not 800 homers, but a 500+ guy.
Former Team mate
Really?
I wonder if Japanese baseball is like AAA baseball in the US, if he were MLB; how many home runs would he have?
some estimate around 400-500 for an entire career. Japanese baseball has never been as strong as MLB, but Oh was different.
Ask Davey Johnson as he played with OH as his teammate.
if Japanese baseball were like AAA how come they can produce players like Ichiro or Shohei Ohtani? MLB can't produce someone like OHtano after all these year since BAbe Ruth? I love all the critics who say oh, Ichiro is too skinny or Shohei would never make it as a two-way player blah b;ah who are these critics? They are jealous and I wonder if they suck at baseball. A good example, Bruce Lee, everyone said he was the greatest? Why? because he made a few movies and his philosophy etc and yet he never fought professionally! Yet he is called the founding father of modern MMA? Ruth was never referred as the founding father of baseball! Ruth would never make to the MLB today and even if he did, he wouldn't have hit 714, 400 at the most
with that MLB juice 1000 home runs easy
MLB scout categorize Japan league as AAAA. Stronger than AAA but lower than MLB.
00:12:00 "With Ruth in the rear view mirror"...LOL - He was great, but let's be realistic here.
This line was strictly in terms of him passing 714.
@@BaseballTimeMachine right, but he didn't. He got a higher number but in an inferior league. Let's be real.
@@dthorne4602 he's being real af let him cook.
@@dthorne4602 You sure that the Central League of the 1960s and 70s was worse than the American League of the 1920s and 30s (pre-integration)?
