“White said the confrontation began with a larger fight [riot?] that broke up after a few minutes.

OHTANI ACCOMPLISHES SOMETHING AMAZING--50 HRS AND 50 SBS IN ONE SEASON--AFTER 3 HR,2 SB NIGHT,THURSDAY EVENING
ReplyDeleteMIAMI (AP) Shohei Ohtani became the first player in major league history to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a season when he homered three times and stole two bases to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to a playoff-clinching 20-4 rout of the Miami Marlins on Thursday.
“Happy, relieved and very respectful to the peers and everybody who came before me to play this sport of baseball,” Ohtani said through an interpreter.
Ohtani also became the first player with three homers and two steals in a game. He doubled twice, had a career-best six hits and set a Dodgers record with 10 RBIs. His 51 homers this season broke Shawn Green’s franchise record of 49, set in 2001.
“The individual performance tonight was remarkable,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “With this game of baseball, it was a win for Major League Baseball. I know people all over the globe were watching this game and we’re excited to see that they got a chance to witness history.”
The Japanese star began the day two homers and one steal shy of the 50-50 mark. Ohtani doubled to lead off the game and then swiped third to get to 50 steals. He stole his 51st base in the second inning.
Ohtani homered in the sixth off reliever George Soriano, a 438-foot drive to the second deck in right-center. His 49th homer put the Dodgers ahead 9-3. His turn came again in the seventh and Ohtani connected with his historic blast, an opposite-field shot over the left-field wall against Mike Baumann.
“Being honest, it was something I wanted to get it over as soon as possible,” Ohtani said. “The balls were being exchanged every time I came up to bat.”
Ohtani was mobbed by his Dodgers teammates when he reached the dugout. The crowd of 15,548 continued cheering until Ohtani emerged from the dugout for a curtain call.
GRA:One of two superstars baseball has,though he can't speak a word of English.
This is utterly remarkable,considering he was never a stolen base threat before this year.Too bad his arm blew up,he might have won 20 games too.

He gets an asterisk from me, seeing as his entire season stands under the shadow of a possible gambling scandal.
ReplyDeleteHe must have had the "over" on stolen bases for the season,being 50,at 10,000 to 1 odds.
