Comments

1. 🐺 Elena M.: this footage must be from the late 90s, doesn't quite match the man i knew in my youth though
2. Mila: it's surreal seeing someone who lived through something so unimaginable still throwing curves at 80+ years old
3. Arlo: love that he's still got his spark, even at 86
4. Wraith Kite: love that they shared his story again, but feels like a missed chance for the hall of fame to highlight his post-war work too
5. Ashen Kite: watching an 86-year-old Harimoto's eyes still hold so much dignity
6. Cleo: still waiting for them to make a movie about his actual story. Not just the sports highlights
7. Noahsantosxo: Harimoto's story is one thing, but what about those who helped him rebuild the sport after the war?
8. Leov: surprised they're still highlighting his Hall of Fame induction after all these years – was there some controversy surrounding his selection?
