From there, Harada was able to build and develop a professional baseball league in Japan, which is an achievement he expresses immense pride at. Harada also reflects on the many relationships and friendships he built during his career, including Generals Marquat and MacArthur, Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe.
