 \;">On Thursday\, August 15\,  from 11 a.m. to noon\, the Service Area 4 
 Peer Resource Center at the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health
  in Koreatown will host a conversation with two of the hosts of the <a hre
 f="https://podcastpotluck.com/asiansinbaseball" style="color: blue\;">Asia
 ns in Baseball</a><span style="font-size: 12pt\;"> podcast. Scott Okamoto 
 and Kim Cooper will chat with the Department of Mental Health’s Jon Mats
 umoto about how Asian success on the diamond has helped alter the percepti
 on of Asian Americans\, and Asian Americans’ self-identity in a world st
 ill grappling with anti-Asian hate\, among other topics. The event will be
  followed by a meet and greet with Okamoto and Cooper. Baseball-themed foo
 ds such as hot dogs and all the fixings\, peanuts\, and soft drinks will b
 e served.\n\n<p style="margin: 0in\; font-size: 12pt\; font-family: Aptos\
 , sans-serif\; text-indent: 0.5in\;">The Asian American male has long been
  viewed as much better suited to the science research lab than the athleti
 c field. But the recent explosion of Asian and Asian American talent in Ma
 jor League Baseball has turned this stereotype on its head. From Shohei Oh
 tani’s two Most Valuable Player awards to Steven Kwan leading the Americ
 an League in batting average\, Asians have become such a powerful presence
  in American professional baseball that there is now an entire podcast on 
 the subject.\n\n<p style="margin: 0in\; font-size: 12pt\; font-family: Apt
