Sadaharu Oh (Homerun King) 王貞治 Music Video

My musical tribute to Sadaharu Oh. Oh translates as "king". Sanshin means "strikeout". Oh endured the chant "Oh Oh Sanshin Oh" for three seasons before, in desperation, batting from one leg. 868 homers later, he's a legend.
Lyrics:

Right out of high school to the Giants team
Oh Oh Sanshin Oh
His first three seasons where like a bad dream
Oh Oh strikeout king
After months of training with Arakawa-san
He was still
Chorus 1

Sadaharu Oh the strikeout king
Not really sure what the future would bring

Then one day in desperation
Oh Oh Sanshin Oh
Flamingo batting was an inspiration
Oh Oh strikeout king
He led the league in hitting homeruns
To become

Chorus 2
Sadaharu Oh the homerun king
He really found the homerun swing

Trained in Zen with a samurai sword
Oh Oh homurun Oh
Soon his number of homeruns couldn't be ignored
Oh Oh homerun king
Passed Hank Aaron with 765
And he was

Chorus 2
