【大杉勝男 ホームラン】東映時代月に向かって打て！のアドバイスで開眼し長池徳二と1本差の本塁打王争い。ヤクルト移籍で日本シリーズ正真正銘、誰からも文句を言われない本塁打を放って日本一に貢献しMVP受賞

We're looking for members to support this channel!    / @okamura-baseball   Osugi Katsuo, while with Toei, discovered his batting potential after receiving advice from coach Iijima Shigeya, "Hit for the moon." He hit 30 home runs in two consecutive years from his fourth year. From his seventh year, he hit 40 home runs for three consecutive years. In 1971, he hit 41 home runs, just one behind the home run king, Hankyu's Tokuji Nagaike. The following year, in the final game of the season, Osugi caught up with him and surpassed him, becoming the home run king with 41 home runs, just one behind Nagaike. The rivalry between the two was intense! After transferring to Yakult, he contributed to the team's first championship in 1978! In Game 7 of the Japan Series, he hit a home run near the left field pole off Mitsuhiro Adachi. Hankyu manager Toshiharu Ueda protested the call, causing the game to be suspended for 1 hour and 19 minutes. "I'm pissed. I'm going to hit one more," he said, smashing a truly undeniable home run off Hisashi Yamada in the eighth inning. He also won the MVP award with four home runs and 10 RBIs in the series. He then achieved his 450th home run, 1,500 RBIs, 2,000 hits, and 1,000 hits in both leagues. Although he fell just short of his 200th home run in both leagues, at his retirement ceremony he said, "Finally, this is a selfish request, but I was just one away from hitting 200 in both leagues. If you could just let me hit this one in the dreams of all my fans, there would be no greater joy than that." Osugi is perhaps the only person who has said this and made it a reality in the dreams of his fans. Career Stats, Titles, and Awards: 2,235 games played, 2,228 hits, 486 home runs, 1,507 RBIs, .287 batting average. 2x home run leader, 2x RBI leader. 5x Best Nine selection, Japan Series MVP.
