 With great sadness we share the news of our mentor and inspirational leader Kaye Kaminishi's passing this morning. He quietly passed in his home with his son, daughter, and other family members by his side.
The Asahi Baseball Association and our members would like to send our heartfelt condolences to Kaye's entire family and friends. We have been blessed to have had Kaye near us for the past 10 years from our first Tribute Game to our recent 10th Anniversary Legacy Games. His inspirational advice and motivational speeches will remain in the hearts of all our players and coaches. Despite harsh the discriminatory treatment by society and the government of 1940s, Kaye carried himself with dignity, poise, and restraint. From the age of 18 to today, he represented and continued the legacy of the original Asahi. Kaye always believed in playing with honor, respect, loyalty, and sportsmanship. Virtues that we should all live by. Thank you Kaye San
