Japanese 500 Home Run Club

Discussion in the Ask the Commish forum
Japanese 500 Home Run Club
Hello all.

Does anyone know where I can find photos of the following Japanese players; all have hit over 500 career home runs. Sadaharu Oh is the only one I've found. The others are:
    Katsuya Nomura
    Hiromitsu Kadota
    Koji Yamamoto
    Hiromitsu Ochiai
    Isao Harimoto
    Sachio Kinugasa.

I'd even settle for baseball cards, but I don't know if the Japanese issue them.

Thanks for your help.

Check out the movie of Nomo vs. Ochiai [QuickTime Movie - Nifty.com].

The Japanese do have cards. You can find a lot at PrestigeCollectibles.com and RobsJapaneseCards.com (both sites in English).

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
