Sasaki! 410 feet!

+1本

Impressive! What’s it mean? A book?

Haha, yes, it does mean a book, but is also a counter when you count homers and many other things (often long items).
Pronounced “ippon” in the case above. 
本塁打（honruida) and more currently ホームラン（houmu-ran) are what Troy Clardy sometimes called last year for Sasaki’s homeruns.

I sure am happy I’m too old to master that language. Much too ambiguous and subtle.
