Perhaps the greatest home run in baseball history, Sadaharu Oh replicated the hitting style of another Giants player, Mel Ott, with a high leg kick which translated to 868 career home runs over his 22 seasons with the Yomiuri Giants. These white, home zippered pants have the brown and orange Giants colors piping down both legs. Near the zippered area inside is a white strip tag with the number “1” stitched in blue thread, which was Oh’s long-time number. Two tags are also inside, one a “Tamazawa Sporting TOKYO JAPAN” manufacturer’s tag, the other a fabric flag tag. The left knee exhibits dirt staining, showing excellent game use. Full LOA from Dave Miedema, noted sports jersey expert.
