	The Baseball Guru - THE CASE FOR SADAHARU OH AND THE HALL OF FAME by Craig Tomarkin
		It would be unfair to Oh, not to consider him for HOF standing, because he towers above the other Japanese all-stars.Though it should be irrelevant to Sadaharu Oh’s case, a list of the thirty greatest foreign players is provided in this report.
		Therefore, considering Oh’s accomplishments on the field, and with regard to his impact on American culture and our national pastime, it is not enough to rely on the Japanese Hall of Fame to honor him.
		To allow consideration for Sadaharu Oh, an amendment should be made adding the words, “or any national major league” to the bit about the ten MLB or Negro League seasons requirement.
