Oh has stomach operation
2006-07-17 22:33
by Bob Timmermann

Japanese baseball legend and the current manager of the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks, Sadaharu Oh had what was described as successful surgery to remove his entire stomach because of tumors in it.

Oh is expected to leave the hospital in 10 days and may even be able to resume his managerial duties according to some other accounts.

But it's been a rough time for Japanese baseball heroes, one of Oh's teammates from his Yomiuri Giants glory days, Shigeo Nagashima, suffered a severe stroke in March 2004 and has had some paralysis on the right side of his body.

It's not as bad as it sounds. Well, it's bad but there is a high survival rate.

They've been taking out stomachs for a while, so I imagine that you can make do. It's not easy.

It's amazing what they can do with your internal plumbing.
