Nihau
Is this a joke? Created by an anonymous user (with quite a bit of past vandalism) about 10 months ago, this article claims to be about a Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame player who hit 741 home runs. I don't know Japanese, but he's not on the list of players in the Hall of Fame, and he's not mentioned in the Japanese Baseball article in my 1995 edition of Total Baseball (which has biographies of twenty or so Japanese greats). I smell a hoax. Andrew Levine 00:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
