Sort of. Yesterday, Hideki Okajima visited the pediatric unit of St. Luke's International Hospital in Tokyo with the goal of spreading a smile. He had previously arranged a screening of the baseball-themed anime flick Major: Yūjō no Winning Shot for the hospital patients and their families. Here's the thing: This is a first-run movie, it was released last month. It's hard to imagine an American movie distributor allowing a baseball player to hold a private showing of a brand new film even if it was for cancer kids. Oki played catch, signed baseballs, and offered encouragement to the kiddos. Said Oki:
"I'm going to try my best again this year, so I want you all to try hard as well."
Say it with me: Awww.
