"Shohei Ohtani just stopped to sign for Momoyo, a 100-year-old woman who survived the bombing of Nagasaki. Ohtani had just completed a throwing session when Dodgers broadcaster Stephen Nelson told him of Kelley's story."
"Kelley was 19 years old when the atomic bomb hit her Japanese hometown. She moved to the United States in the early 1950s and became a lifelong baseball fan."
"Ohtani went 1-for-4 in the Dodgers' 4-3 loss, extending his on-base streak to 50 games. He is now just two games away from tying Shawn Green's L.A. record of 53."
"Roberts suggested before the game that the Dodgers may continue only using Ohtani as a pitcher in some games when he takes the mound."
Shohei Ohtani, a prominent athlete, met 100-year-old Momoyo Nakamoto Kelley, a Nagasaki bombing survivor, before a game. Kelley, who moved to the U.S. in the 1950s, attended the game with family. Ohtani extended his on-base streak to 50 games during the match. He is expected to pitch against the San Francisco Giants soon. Due to a shoulder bruise, Ohtani may only serve as a pitcher in some games, as suggested by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.
