Random Japanese Baseball Player

Hit 868 home runs in his career. That's 106 more than Barry Bonds. He also shares the single-season Japanese home run record with with two Americans and a Venezuelan at 55 home runs. As a manager he's been involved in various controversies around protecting his record and keeping it from falling into the hands of a foreigner. (Source)

    What an Asian-centric post.

    That is all.

    uh, It's hard to get much less random than Sadaharu Oh. I mean, he's only the ALL-TIME PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL HOME RUN LEADER... how random. Also, here's a random American baseball player called Babe Ruth

In 1789, the governor of Australia granted land and some animals to James Ruse in an experiment to see how long it would take him to support himself. Within 15 months he had become self sufficient. The area is still known as Experiment Farm. This is my Experiment Farm to see how long it will take me to support myself by writing.
