But vision problems soon lead to a brain tumor diagnosis and Yokota faced a grueling battle beyond the baseball field.Supported by his family and teammates, he fought with courage and returned to the diamond. In his farewell game he left the stadium in awe...A moving journey of resilience and hope One Last Throw pays tribute to perseverance and the power of the human spirit.
