Baseball is a funny sport because it’s an historic sport, rich with history and tradition but odd because one of the most important statistics is Home Runs.

There’s this old Japanese player named Sadaharu Oh who has *FAR* more home runs than the controversial MLB Home Run record holder Barry Bonds. Like by a lot. Like by a *LOT* a lot

And his biggest claim to fame is being an excellent reference in the Beastie Boys song, “Hey, Ladies”

So, what I’m saying is, all-in-all, pretty good deal for him

@dugglebutt Japanese Baseball where after blowing a Home Run call, switched it to a double, only to then create the first ever 'Ground Rule Triple'
