Sadaharu Oh's amaizing Homerun (when he was 55 years old)

[Vhsmith37]

still got it.... holy crap at 55?!?!

[TheBestboys4]

@1309kc No, Franco retired in 2008 at the age of 49. However, he still is the oldest player to hit a home run in an MLB game, on 4/20/06 against Padres as a member with the Mets

[gakkan21]

OH is forever hero.

[bogo2fly]

Is he half korean or is he full korean but born in japan? :O

[konchiku]

@bogo2fly No,he is half Taiwanese.

[WBOS72]

Sadaharu - AMAZING!!

[Frigidair]

OH shit.

[drpants]

only one person has disliked this...the pitcher

[coolguyponus]

wow he's running the bases like a smooth 41 year old! nice

[thevmanvj]

Old Timer's Game Perhaps? In any case, what a great swing. Smooth and level.....and , what a quick bat!!! No wonder Mr. Oh had 868 Lifetime Home Runs.

[OkazakiTomoyaEthanol]

OH!!

that smile is deadly :O

[awesomecdiperson]

Why the hell did he retire? With that kind of a swing he could have probably still helped out as a pinch hitter

[konzertnr9]

@awesomecdiperson He hit 30 HRs in the last year of his career. His comment for the reason to retire was "I cannot do 'Sadaharu Oh's batting' anymore."

[TheFlanker35]

Fuck Sadaharu Oh. He only lets his team pitch to nips.

[jackbean1016]

As if it's so easy hitting a batting practice pitch out the park. At 55, he still has to hit the ball across the fence, on one leg. Give me an average 30 year old male, and I will give you 10 batting practice balls, and see how many you can hit it out.

[hckyfn01]

Not to take anything away from OH, to hit as many homers as he did in his career is quite an accomplishment no matter what the league. But if he's got anything at all left in the tank, (looks like he stayed in pretty good shape) he SHOULD be able to hit a 75 mph, belt high floater over the fence. That was a batting practice pitch.

[svrhodes77]

@hckyfn01...I hope I can just *catch up* to a 75 mph pitch when I'm in my mid 50's...much less drive it over the opposite field fence!

[jonxchiu]

2:54 "YATTA!" 

[yz85isaac2]

judging by facial expression these dudes must have more fun than american baseball players

[guitar29682]

oh only broke the record of international hr's because he played in japan, which is inferior competition to mlb

[BobMcBobbenheimer]

dont waste your time. it begins at 2:38

[1309kc]

julio franco hit a home run in a mlb regular season game when he was in his 50's too

[andreano1614]

@1309kc wrong

[LancerJak]

Why isn't he playing?!

[BruceIno]

He hit the ball over the fence at the age 55.

[FOSHAAA]

2 world baseball classics = 2 japan titles i think japan baseball its not so bad as you say

[scrfce454]

I heard that managers were intentionally walking American players to keep them from breaking his single season HR record. That's bull

[Oldschoolhockey91]

Man it makes MLB look so boring.

they're laughing and having fun, and this was a retiree game. Guys at there age playing like that is incredible!

Sadaharu Oh is the MAN!

love Japanese Baseball,

from a die hard Red Sox fan

[littledale5]

@Oldschoolhockey91 The Red sox suck! go REDS!

[FruschendrixFan01]

@Oldschoolhockey91 Well yeah they're smiling because it's just a fun retiree game, the same thing happens at the Yankees Old Timer's Day.

[navyk77]

@Oldschoolhockey91 The old timers game in the US is the same way.

[pjherbst]

Did anyone notice that the batters are at the plate without helmets?

[yankeecrab99]

he hit 800 something homeruns against pitchers in japan.........i dont think he could of hit that many against MLB pitching

[yankeecrab99]

2 totally different players one is an homerun hitter the other is a hit for average hitter if this guy came to play in the US he would hit maybe 300 to 400 homeruns ichirio was a homerun hitter in japan now he dosent hit that many same with matsui he hit was a 50 hr guy in japan now he hits 20-30 big difference from japanese pitching from here

[pacas35]

thanks for the info and apologize for mi first comment  to you

[yankeecrab99]

@pacas35 its no problemo lol

[PolyRetard]

maybe if A-Rod or any American HR hitters went to Japan and played there, I'm sure they can't do well there either. Why? They will have to adapt to the Japanese life style. The reason why people do so well in their own countries is because they feel comfortable there.

[richardtheconquerer]

@PolyRetard Some of the best hitters in MLB aren't even American though

[1414rg]

That dude could just hit the fucking ball. I saw him play in 1980, his last season in the japan major league. I grew up watching this guy, he was my hero along with Rod Carew and Kent Herbek. I got to meet him in Japan when was still playing pro, I got him to signed one of my bat in english & japans. It was one of the highlight of my career in baseball meeting him.

[Xxsideshow22xX]

@1414rg you played pro

[UncleMikeNJ]

If we can get back to the subject of baseball... Check it out at 2:10, is Oh calling his shot? Maybe he really was the Babe Ruth of Japan!

[azbaldy5]

oh would have been great, imagine him playing for the Yankees in yankee stadium or the Boston Red sox in fenway ? in either park he hits 30 PLUS HOME RUNS A YEAR ! he should be in cooperstown he merits it.

[2010LeeBruce]

All those who said Mr. Oh can't hot more than 800 home runs if he were to play in the US, obviously we have bunches shitty white Americans here who obviosuly never left their little brains that they have, bunches of white shits He did it without stroids like some of the players here like niggers and spics and some honkies. I don't see anyone in the MLB can stand one leg and hit homeruns. I will find those ass----s who criticize Mr. OH, and will tortune them to death

[thejanitor06]

Get out of this country you asian fucker.

[juliusmitsui]

[mikey226]

Mr. Oh has so much class and respect for his country and team that he made it to the 2009 world baseball classic dispite being seriously ill. To bring so much honor to your team and baseball is wonderful to see.

[socialspasmdrums]

I wish we had been able to see him play in the MLB

Incredible player

[carlinrulez666]

I agree.

[Ninety2q]

I'm going to assume this is an old timers game or something like that?

[koshikofu2009]

This is an exhibition game by the players who retired . Mr.Oh has come to 55 years old at that time.
