Retiring Chiba Lotte Marines star Saburo Omura had only one season in which he hit above .300 and just one 20-homer campaign, with both marks coming in 2009.
Overall, he was a career .265 hitter with 1,363 hits and 127 homers with just a couple of trips to the All-Star Series, which makes him unlikely to become a Hall of Famer in the future.
But numbers don't speak for Saburo's value as a player.
