1. If I’m reading this right, it seems like the women that Dave Roberts hugged there in the early parts of the video were his relatives (aunts) living in Okinawa.

2. Good to see he also arrived with himself from 2003 lol

3. It’s nice no one is throwing eggs at Roberts like South Korean did at Incheon Airport. He is getting warm welcome in Okinawa, Japan.

4. Yakyu! The new exhibit in Cooperstown is awesome. The first thing you see is a recreation of a 16th century suit of great-armor given to the former owner of the Dodgers. It’s great.

5. Jeez, talk about a celebrity welcome.

6. Wish he spoke better Japanese, but it’s so nice him going there in the off season!!

   We so proud!
