    It was Ohtani's wife's idea to invite someone like this kid instead of herself throwing the first pitch.
    So beautiful moments created by the people with beautiful hearts.

      Actually it was Shohei’s idea to give the opportunity to someone else than his wife and asked Mariko if it would be okay, then she thought it was good idea. Upon couple of options she decided for him. That’s the detailed order 😊

    • @marksstudio
      @marksstudio Před měsícem +11

      You're so right. He's raised the level of the game also. Pitchers have to be very careful throwing to him, since one mistake can go second deck. Plus the way he gets ovations when he homers in other stadiums just shows that he is enriching all the teams.

  • @johnnysoccer1983

    Shohei Ohtani is the GOAT. Not only is he arguably the greatest player of all time, but he's the most humble, and most giving and caring player to add to is. He's never acted or believed he's above the game, or deserved anything more, he just works hard and always gives back. He's the Greatest Of All Time, hands down, no second thoughts. The guy is a role model everyone should look up to.

    According to Japanese media, it's Dodger's tradition to let a family member throw the first pitch on the player's bobblehead night but Shohei and Mamiko discussed it and preferred that the opportunity be given to a kid who loves baseball but doesn't have much of an opportunity to watch the game live like Albert. Kudos to the Ohtanis for thinking bigger.❤

    Fun fact, the Dodgers initially asked Ohtani if his wife could throw the first pitch for the game, it’s Ohtani’s day after all. Instead, Ohtani felt that this opportunity should go to someone else especially some kid who hopes for the dream in baseball. So he rejected putting his wife in field. It shows how caring and thoughtful Ohtani truly is. The city and the team deserve the man.

How the media can paint him as a degenerate gambler shows their motivation and we should never forget that. The truth has nothing to do with it sometimes, they'll blow anyone up just to tear them down cuz either way they get clicks and views.
