When mentioning Sadaharu Oh any baseball forum, the fact that he sabotaged Randy Bass, Tuffy Rhodes, and Alex Cabrera's runs at his single-season home run record by inentionally walking them will come up in conversation every. single. time.
Today we analize just how true that narrative is.

Thank you for making a video on this. This issue has always been one that has bothered and interested me the most about NPB, so it's great to get some context on it. This channel is fantastic. It's so rare to get quality npb content in english.

I honestly have to say this: I have way more respect for Saduharu Oh than I do for most any of the current home run record holders in the US, regardless of what he’s been accused of, which I’m actually in full agreement with you about the claims against Oh being ostensibly hogwash. What an interesting and fascinating video!

@Garrett1240 2 года назад

Why's that? It's just patently true that he told his pitchers to walk Bass, Rhodes and Cabrera.

@giggityXlegit 5 месяцев назад

You’re clueless.. the pitching coach for his team even said, “We didn’t want a foreign player breaking the record.” Racist. Beast at the plate but, still racist.

Sadaharu Oh was a beast.

And oh has never held japanese nationality, have you read his autobiography? He was barred from a high school tournament for not being japanese and im sure everyone has heard of his koshien story with his father bring an ointment

The NPB wins leader is an ethnic Korean, and he broke a record held by a Russian The hits leader is also ethnic Korean The Japanese Iron-man is half black But you'll never hear people bring that up in retrospect. They're all considered Japanese to most people, even if they aren't ethnically Japanese. And even then, to a good amount of people it was better that an Asian held the record than a non-asian

@@TheBrainSpecialist this is why NPB is one of the least marketable leagues in the world. Like, KBO, of all leagues, out-marketed them during the pandemic.

@@kevind7708 More of that has to do with Central League dragging their feet. KBO and CPBL are unified systems, NPB is not. The CL elitism is something that needs to go tbh.

@kevind7708 2 года назад

Agreed with that, the CL elitism is close to soccer in Europe rn 😓

You guys just don’t know how much racial discrimination from Japanese towards Sadaharu Oh back in his young days. He is still holding Republic of China (Taiwan) passport to this day because of Oh’s father’s will. Japanese not until Oh turned the Hawks franchise around , they still had some discrimination on him as a ethnic Chinese born in Japan.

@Ryuuranger Месяц назад

I would call Oh Babe Ruth of Japan 🇯🇵

@JP-wx6uh Год назад

I think this can't really discredit Oh too much, since he only hit 868 career home runs. Clearly none of those 3 bums you mentioned in this video would have ever had a chance to match that feat (or anywhere near it). That record will never be broken. The single season record was broken in 2013 anyway, and wasn't that impressive in the first place. He walked 3 different power hitters, so what? How many times was Barry Bonds' walked? Lame excuse man.

@brahemedays2914 2 года назад

If they wanna keep their record, Japanese, I don't begrudge them.

@GaijinBaseball 2 года назад

One thing I never got about the whole "keep the record Japanese" thing was the argument that a foreigner holding the record would deprive kids who play baseball of a goal to look forward to. If anything the fact that a foreign player holds the record would give Japanese kids more of an incentive to want to beat it, in a "taking the record back" sense.
