Hadn't seen this one before. After Sadaharu Oh broke Hank Aaron's career home record on September 3, 1977, Aaron and his wife flew over to Japan to acknowledge the feat. This photo is from September 17, the day before Aaron officially congratulated Sadaharu Oh during a pre-game event. In this photo taken at the Tokyo Hotel, Aaron's wife Billye is just to the left. Sadaharu Oh's batting style was often described as a "flamingo-style" of batting (he always had his one leg raised before stepping into his swing), so of course Hank Aaron gave Oh a gift of a stuffed and mounted flamingo!
