[@SoftBank47]

Destrade knows what it's all about when playing in Japan. He played for the Seibu Lions in the late '80s and early '90s and was a hell of a home run threat.

when sadaharu speaks the baseball world listen. true legend, noone knows baseball better than sadaharu oh, not just technical, tactical perspectives, also cultural n philosophically speaking.

[@Tnakamura11]

He should not call him as Wan chan. It's Sadaharu Oh's nickname among his teammates. Others are not allowed to use it even in Japan.

元気を日本にプロ野球!

[@SoftBank47]

I was referring to Destrade's days in Japan, Destrade led the Pacific League in home runs three straight years. That wasn't easy on those '80s Seibu Lions teams that had power threats like Kiyohara and Akiyama.

[@Pacmanknapp24]

What do you mean he only hit 26 career homeruns only two people have even a shot, well had was Cabera for Softbank Hawks who's now 41, past player Tuffy Rhodes

[@netinfinity3]

yakult swallows r u saying? ......the ball in japan is smaller, n smoother material on surface...so its hard for japanese pitches to get use the grip in the major..

[@SoftBank47]

It's ok, I wasn't clear when I said Destrade was a HR threat. Didn't add the all important "with Seibu" words, lol.

[@Pacmanknapp24]

Ha Ha whats funny Destrade had the strut attitude before he went to Japan lmao Doing kung fu yes posture after crushing the ball, one thing I never understood some Nippon Stadiums are a lot shorter in the out field then U.S but foul ball line stretches out, also heard they use a wider ball, heavier ball confusing, Yes you should of said Seibu Lions, Being from the U.S i try to keep tabs on all the teams, hell even play the Video games for ps3 pro yakyuu spirits

[@Thatsstraightup]

Trevor Knapp hey you prolly don't know the team history of Saitama Seibu Lions. He was the key instrument of beating the formidable team in Japan which happens to be the Yomiuri Giants. Also the stadiums are a metre shorter than the American counterparts is because of the lack of power hitters in Japan.
