During the Dodger game this afternoon, a family got up and left while Shohei Ohtani was at bat. The son looked crushed that they were leaving.
He missed Ohtani’s game tying homer. Those parents failed.

I’m so glad I clicked on this while sipping my tea this morning. You made my day—thank you!
It was the greatest game in my humble opinion. It’s not just because of the stats but the context of how it all came to be: he happened to clinch BOTH his 50th SB _and_ 50th HR in the that same game WHILE helping his team to clinch the playoffs. Context matters a whole lot in this case.
I’ll be honest about Shohei’s last home run in Miami (the one off the position player). That was a home run derby pitch if I ever saw one. That was as if Dino Ebel was pitching in a home run derby. Straight, not too fast, but not too slow, and grooved right to his sweet spot, slightly above the strike zone but in a perfect spot nonetheless. I still don’t think it takes anything away from his achievement because he doesn’t get to choose the pitcher or the pitch. He took advantage of what was offered, and that’s all he can do. By the way, the Dodgers’ position players seem to have a better approach. They lob the balls in there as slow as possible. It’s sort of like an eephus pitch and major leaguers aren’t used to hitting pitches coming from that angle, and it’s also less likely to leave the yard. As long as it stays in play, there’s a chance for the defense to make an out. Soft contact.
Ohtani being the lead- off batter with 10 rbi’s plus everything else that happen in that game – yes greatest game ever .
Shohei Ohtani needs two home runs (55) to surpass Babe Ruth’s record (54) for the most home runs in a player’s first full season with a new team. Ohtani is only 30 years old.
Showstopping performance from Shohei.
I don’t think we ever did that!
Traffic in and out of Dodger Stadium is THE worst. Me and my wife were in LA in 2019 on vacation to visit friends, and went to a game. It literally took us TWO hours to get like 15 miles from Malibu Beach to Dodger Stadium. I don’t blame Dodger fans at all for trying to beat traffic !!!
Short show?
