Kirk here. This guy is amazing! I heard on TV today that there are enough games left in the season for him to surpass the all-time record if he continues at his average for this year’s season.

If you can’t read the Japan Times article try this one:

“Murakami belted his 55th homer of the season to tie former Yomiuri legend Sadaharu Oh’s 1964 record for a Japanese-born player during Yakult’s 9-7 loss to the Giants at Jingu Stadium in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo.”
P.S. In case you missed previous posts, Murakami is from Kumamoto and played for Kyushu Gakuin High School.
