I think he retired from the world of baseball, meaning he retired from being a coach, not player. @Anonymous
Hmm...then that's too little time. Players who turn managers or coaches usually don't retire until their 60s-70s. Hidaka only looks to be in his early 40s.
Lovely and sweet.
Gay dads. :D
Although, I think it was very optimistic to say Hidaka would play for another 20 years. lol
