Yes. The baseball is almost standard in size the world over. The playing field isn't so standard. I believe the Japanese pitcher's mound is shorter and closer to home plate. Actually the baseball sizes are slightly different in Japan and USA professional baseball. I played baseball there and in the states and was informed that Japanese baseballs are slightly lighter, but almost not noticable.
sadaharu oh, he hit 868 home runs with a .301 lifetime batting average
The San Francisco Giants are a major league baseball team and this year in May the team had an inside of the park homerun by Angel Pagan. In the teamÕs history there have had inside the park homeruns as both the San Francisco and New York Giants that equal over 10 between the two.
This question seems pretty broad. If you are referring to his career highs, he hit 66 homeruns in 1998. He has hit over 60 homeruns three times in his career, but those years seem to be behind him. With injuries and old age catching up to him, he hit just 40 homeruns in 2003 and appears to be on a similar pace for 2004.
The Foley Outlaws won a game on Monday, May 25th 2009. The score was 21-11 over the St. Wendel Saints. Keith Johnson had 3 homeruns, Randy Claseman and Mike McMillin added 2 homeruns each. The win snaps an 81 game losing streak in the Victory League.
There are differing opinions someone could have regarding whether the St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols or the Milwaukee Brewers' Ryan Braun is better and while Pujols has experience in the Majors as an advantage my opinion is that currently Pujols is the better player because he consistently hits over .300, he consistently hits over 30 Homeruns and has hit over 40 Homeruns 5 times in his career and he always drives in 100 or more RBIs every year and he constantly has around 30-40 doubles every year and is always pretty close to 200 hits every year as well whereas Braun has only had 3 seasons in the Major Leagues, he hasn't had over 40 Homeruns in any season yet but he was able to drive in over 100 RBIs in 2 of his 3 Big League seasons and he doesn't always consistently bat over .300.
The run value of a home run can vary depending on the number of runners on base when it's hit. A solo homerun is worth just one run-- the player who hit the homerun. However, if someone is on all three bases when it's hit then the homerun knocks in 4 runs.
Thurman Munson hit a career total of 113 homeruns over eleven years of regular season play. He hit an additional three homeruns, two in 1977 and one in 1978 in post season play.1969 - 11970 - 61971 - 101972 - 71973 - 201974 - 131975 - 121976 - 171977 - 181978 - 61979 - 3
