Who am I? I won a silver medal at the ’48 London Olympics. I am an American of foreign descent. I played a key figure in a James Bond film.

Harold Sakata, born in Holualoa, Territory of Hawai'i, about 20 miles from where I grew up. He won silver in weightlifting in the 48 Olys and later became a pro wrestler and then got the part of Goldfinger's main henchman, Odd Job. My uncle had a side gig as wrestling promoter on the Big Island and used to ferry some of the guys from town to town so stopped by our place with Sakata and other guys like Ripper Collins, Nick Bockwinkle, Curtis Iaukea in tow when I was a kid.

On the topic of the 1951 series against the Dodgers...three of the Dodgers on that 1951 roster became managers. Who were they?
