Even if he retires the media won't leave him alone. There just aren't enough other baseball people with the media recognition or popularity to fill up the sportscasting time. For a decade after Oh and Nagashima are dead, the TV will keep showing footage.
Goodbye Oh-san, although you blotted your copybook as a manager when you decided to pitch out Randy Bass, et. al., you are still the best Japanese hitter of all time. And the only one your US contemporaries seem to know anything about. Nagashima who? Biggest regret is that the exodus of Japanese players to the MLB didn't start with you.
