The last game of our home run king, Sadaharu Oh

Sadaharu Oh, manager of Japanese pro baseball team the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks, has already announced his retirement at the end of this season, and his last game was held on 7th.

His performance during his playing days was by far the best. Probably even MLB players know him. The number of home runs in his lifetime is 868!
He is the eternal superhero in Japanese baseball world, along with Shigeo Nagashima.

He has been in the professional baseball world for over 50 years. Half a century! It's long, very long. He has been fighting for such long time and showing us wonderful games.
He suffered from stomach cancer and underwent the total gastric resection on 2006. I hope he can get plenty of rest.

Sadaharu Oh, greeting fans after his last game
