As a Swallows fan: Because with the guys like Tuffy and Cabrera, the pitchers would actively pitch around. As in not even challenging them. But with Murakami, you could tell he was going into a slump. The pitchers did challenge him a lot. He was swinging at pitches he wouldnt swing at before, and he sacrificed accuracy for power just to try and get over the last hump. He was hitting under .150 in that period, but was still walked a decent amount(he has the highest walk rate in the NPB by a mile these past 2 seasons).

The reputation of Japanese league pitchers pitching around foreign players to hinder their chance to break Oh's record is rooted primarily in one particular event when Randy Bass of Hanshin Tigers who in 1985 had 54 HRs going into the final game of the season against Tokyo Giants, was walked intentionally in 4 of 5 at bats. This event received especially high volume of Japanese and foreign media coverages because Giants is the team Oh played his entire career + Oh was managing the team at the time (though it was revealed later that the decisions to walk Bass were made by the pitching coach without Oh's consent). This incident was vocally criticized even among the Japanese baseball community and, of course, the fans. One good thing that came out of it is that it helped to change the attitude of Japanese teams and pitchers when facing the foreign players on the verge of breaking not just Oh's but also a Japanese baseball record. It made them more conscious, even weary, of being the target of criticisms, which prompted them to be more inclined to challenge foreign hitters. This is evidenced by the fact 3 foreign hitters have since either tied or broken Oh's season HR record - Wladimir Valentin with 60 (Breaking Oh's season HR record and setting a new Japanese baseball record) in 2013. Tuffy Rhodes and Alex Cabrera with 55 (Tying Oh's record) in 2001 and 2002, respectively.

I definitely think he wants to try come over to the MLB he not only is inspired by what Shohei has done but he said wants to try to do even more, at least from a hitting perspective. I think Japanese players are using Shohei as the blueprint and some but not all of the team who won the WBC will probably make their way over in their own time.

He’s revered in Japan and the fans there truly love and appreciate him. There’s nothing wrong with him staying in his home country. Why does america think every good prospect from another country should come here? I’m afraid he’ll lose the things from his culture that makes him unique: politeness, loyalty, etc. I remember the World Little League championship where the kids from Japan clobbered the US and won and all the hate comments from Americans calling them dirty Japs and other slurs to KIDS! No, please stay and play for your country Murakami San - you don’t want the hate and racism in America.

No one remember 73 as well as the other big numbers. It is the record for sure, but I always go back and forth in my head whether its 72 or 73. I've seen tons of broadcaster be uncertain which number it actually is too. It is not nearly as enduring as some of the other numbers because of how tainted it is. Same with 714 (along with 715) and 755. Those numbers just have much more meaning than I think somewhere in the 760s where Bonds landed. I can't remember what he ended up with there either, somewhere 761-764ish I think. 70 in 98 was significant but I think it being a round number plus what that home run race meant to the sport sinks that number in deeper than the other numbers achieved through cheating.
