Sadaharu Oh broke Hank Aaron's career home run record when he smacked #756 on 9/3/77. One of these TV Guides is dated 9/16 and contains TV listings for programs from 9/10 to 9/16. Undoubtedly, it went on sale right as Oh was breaking Aaron's record. The first three pages of the magazine contain 10 color photos of Oh. There are also several smaller black & white Oh photos throughout the magazine. Interestingly, the Oh photo spread is followed by a two page article on the New York Cosmos of the ill fated North American Soccer League, and their star players, Pele and Franz Beckenbauer. Both are shown in several photos throughout the magazine. The second TV Guide in this lot has Oh on the cover along with HOF pitcher Hisashi Yamada, Masayuki Kakefu and Yasushi Tao. There are a number of interesting baseball photos inside the magazine, including a nostalgic shot of HOFer Shigeru Chiba being awarded a pig!
