Satou Hikaru, the transfer student from the United States, is actually the son of Satou Takuya, the eternal friend and Major League teammate of Daigo's father, Goro!
Right away, Hikaru asks Daigo about advice for joining a local baseball team, but being Daigo, being completely off-put by baseball, gives Hikaru a rude answer.
That evening, Daigo's mother, Kaoru, receives a request for help from the Dolphins' manager, Fujii: "We don't have enough players for the practice match this weekend, can we borrow Daigo?"
that gap between dreams and reality
must've felt devastating and unacceptable.
لا بدّ أنّ تلك الفجوة بين الحلم والحقيقة
...كانت قاتلة ولا يمكن تقبّلها

entre sus expectativas y la realidad.
debió ser una brecha enorme
entre sus expectativas y la realidad.
alors le fossé entre son idéal et lui
l’a certainement désespéré.
dev'essere stato un ritorno alla realtà
 davvero troppo brusco.
deve ser uma devastadora e inaceitável
diferença entre expectativa e realidade.
и, видимо, не смог
смириться с действительностью.
