Sadaharu Oh is the Home Run Champion. 868 Home Runs.
That's right, sports fans -- and those of you who don't know baseball and are tired of hearing about Barry Bonds (who ain't shit)

Sadaharu Oh is the world's home run champ. Eight hundred sixty eight home runs.

Ol' Barry is chasing 755. :eyes:

868.

* "Purity" meaning factual stats, no designated hitter, no obscene salaries, no more aluminum bats in college ball, no more "this time it counts!" -- and back off on the mofo money-making hype around the All-Star Game and the World Series!

1. Since he hit zero in the major leagues it means nothing.
As I'm sure you know.

2. Barry Bonds won't be the "World Champion" -- this is
what I'm answering. Because every time I hear "Barry Bonds" I hear "world champ" (rather, "will be world champ").

5. You have to win the World Series to be a World Champion.
He will be called the new Home Run King. Most of us will not recognize him as such. Hank Aaron wil be considered the record holder and Babe Ruth will always be considered the Home Run King.
