I will never forget this. It happened last year. A team clinched a playoff birth after beating the Angels and they celebrated on the field right in front of the Angels (talk about adding salt to the wound) and in front of Logan. I will never forget how Logan reacted. He just stood there staring them down with such an intense focus yet look that was also inquiring and pondering. If it were UFC or boxing it wouldve been like the contender in the stands looking at the champion who just defended his belt with focus and desire, "you have what I want and I'm going to take it from you." Thats the best way I could describe Logan's look. That's when I realised Logan is something special. He's the kind of dude who wouldve fought in WW2 and sacrificed everything fighting for what he believes in. What I saw was a future star who wants to go to the playoffs so bad, to experience what he saw them experience, and who's going to stop at nothing to achieve it as a Halo player. He wants what they had and he's going to take it by force. Logan will be a future Halo team captain taking the team to the playoffs and word series. That picture from last year of Logan watching another team celebrate will forever be iconic. Logan will eventually be the one doing the celebrating
Which game was it? I never got the chance to look at future HOF Logan in that way
Ive met him before hes a nice guy and i wear his jersey every game
Logan O'Hoppe is a freaking stud man. I've never seen a baseball player with as much "rhythm and soul" and charisma as Logan. The dude has so much natural swag its crazy, you know the stereotype, a mans man - the dude who women want to sleep with and who men want to be like. Thats who Logan O'Hoppe is. He was born to be a leader. He has that old school grit, he has the spirit of the old school baseball greats of the past in him. Logan is simply tough. I'm happy he's a Halo. Give me more masculine tough nosed old school at heart gritty dudes like Logan O'Hoppe. I think Logan can easily hit 30+ HRs this year. There's Mike Trout, than Rendon, and than there's Logan. He's the 3rd team captain IMO. But what's awesome about Logan too is how humble he is, and it's not just the desire to be the best its the humility to know your weaknesses and strengths and accept corrections and accept advice, he has that superstar humility to always stay grounded and objective and seek the best learning as a result so that he can be the best player he can be. Reminds me of Ohtani. In the same way the great Albert Pujlos mentored Mike Trout I hope Mike Trout is passing all that down to Logan. Let's create a superstar lineage of Halo players. Than before you know it when Logan is the established superstar of MLB he will be passing it down himself to another Halo. I pray Logan & Trout have 10 seasons together as Halos, HEALTHY. Just praying for good health. No more injuries
Aw nice Angels interview with Logan ohoppe
So happy I got an O’Hoppe jersey!
Omg. Great hearing from Logan. He is so cute
Can someone from the organization please step up and tell us what the plan is- long term, short term? I’ve been a fan my entire life and am just about ready to walk away. Win! That will sell tickets.
this 1000%. They can't keep saying every offseason "we're competitive this year" when it's clearly a lie. We're not dumb Arte.
@@Badbrad248 We are constantly mediocre. It is incredibly frustrating. You see smart teams like the Astros, Rays, tear down, rebuild, then win for years (even making playoffs is good for me), then repeat. Our player development also seems non existent.
The Angels are the worst team in the league. This is so embarrassing. Gonna get swept again by the A’s. Here we are taking about the beaches when they need to get their head out of the sand and think about being a winning team. Good thing they hired a coke addict to coach the team. PARHETIC
Wash. has got that "complex" ion for the connection as Jesse Jackson used to say. Why do ya think Otanhi is getting paid so much? brings in certain fans. It is not about merit anymore. The game is "global" which means anti whi----te
