As Los Angeles Dozers star Shohei Ohtani celebrated his 45th domestic run at the baseball ground on Sunday, he made a quick pit-stop: jogging for a viewer who was hecales throughout the afternoon.
During the ninth innings of the game against San Diego Padress, to return to the dosers’ dugout, Ohtani put his hand out of a Padress fan, high -faving his hekler and patted him on the back – a gesture was very entertained.
After the match at San Diego’s Petco Park, the Dozers won 8–2 over their long-standing rival.
“It was very out of Shohi’s character,” Dave Roberts, manager of Dojers, told reporters. [Ohtani] Out of the whole game “.
“So it was good to see that Shohei took a high-five initiative to him. It was very good. It was fun. It was good to see Shohi showing his personality.”
Roberts said that Hekler was sitting next to the Dozers Dugout, “was very annoying, as he was in the whole game in my right ear,” Roberts said.
Ohtani, a rare MLB player because he is elite in both pitching and hitting, known as “unicorn” and is considered one of the best players of the game.
He joined the doors in 2023 with a record $ 700m (£ 520m) deal. In Japan, he is observed as the country’s largest baseball export.
Dozers and padresses share that some people say “the best rivalry in baseball”, in which fans’ feelings move high in matches.
Last October, a play-off match between two teams at the Dodger Stadium was stopped for about 10 minutes when fans of Dojers threw baseball and beer at a padress player. After days, Petco Park officials warned the audience against throwing things on the field or making derogatory remarks.
In June, the players and managers of both teams approved the bench and moved to the ground, shouting and stirring each other after the Padress Star Fernando Tatis Junior was immersed in the right wrist.
In this last weekend, the doors were subjected to a lot of georing from the stand, which was enlightened with the first two matches losing. But the boohing became silent, and cheers exploded after Ohani’s homer was killed – his first against Padress in this season.
With 31 games for both teams, rivals are now tied at 74–57.
Padress manager Mike Shild told reporters on Sunday, “We are playing outstanding baseball. Therefore, I still don’t try to get trapped today.” “We can’t be thrilling more. We are tied to our division lead and hope to win it.”
