Ohtani rewrites history to send Dodgers to World Series

When the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers to reach the World Series, Shohei Ohtani delivered one of baseball’s greatest performances ever.

In a complete 5-1 victory over the Dodgers, Japan’s Ohtani defeated the Dodgers 4-0 to win the series. He had three massive home runs.

The 31-year-old’s triple of home runs and 10 strikeouts in the same game constitutes a post-season record for Major League Baseball, highlighting a rare talent of dominating with both bat and ball.

Ohtani also hit three home runs in the same game as Jim Tobin, a Boston Braves pitcher, in 1942.

Ohtani, who received the Most Valuable Player award for his heroics, said, “It was really fun on both sides of the ball today.”

“Let’s get four more wins with this trophy,” I declare. We actually worked as a team, and we did it. I hope everyone in LA, Japan, and around the world can enjoy the excellent sake [Japanese rice wine]”.

After a eight-game home run drought, Ohtani started the game at Dodger Stadium with three strikeouts in the first inning.

Then, with the bat, he gave a crushing 446-foot home run and a massive 469-foot hit that soared out of the stadium.

Ohtani, who last year became the first player to ever have tallied 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in the same season, did it again in a historic way.

According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, “That was probably the greatest post-season performance of all time.”

He is “the greatest player on the planet for a reason.” Expect him to do it, much like what you don’t expect.

I’ve never seen this performance, just “just a performance.” This is the first time anyone has seen it. Shohei is still awe inspiring right now.
