Sadaharu Oh: Better at 55 Than You at 27
Here is a 55-year-old Sadaharu Oh hitting a ~370 ft. home run to right field during a retiree game at Koshien Stadium (thereabouts of 1995):
I once hit a ball about 320 ft. But that was in a video game. Apparently Oh’s final comment in the video is, “Baseball is good, isn’t it?”
You know what, Mr. Sadaharu? It is good. And so are you.
The presumably old pitcher is getting the speed gun to put up numbers from 75-80 mph, too. Which is faster than I’ve thrown at any age, unless it was from the back of a moving car.
