A boy and a former baseball star

As appeared on the TV screen, 14 August 2006 - the same program as this one.
This boy is now talking to Isao Harimoto, a former baseball star.
I remember Mr Harimoto very vividly. When I was a child, in the 1970s, he was one of the most popular baseball players. Slugger Harimoto hit a total of 3,000 hits in his career, and now he's a famous baseball pundit.
Despite the fact that he was a great professional baseball player, he has never been free from health worries. When he was five years old, he was in Hiroshima, and it was in the year 1945. He is one of the thousands of hibakusha (exposed person). He had to take blood test regularly even when he was a star player.
Here, he talks to the boy about what he hopes for the future - no weapons, no bombs.
