Baseball: Ohtani sets record then beats it

Dare to try. Dear Mr. Ohtani, if you need a co-wife, I am available by mail order on Temu.

I love my Japanese fans! - Taylor Swift

Japanese baseball player, legend, and $700,000,000.00-LA Dodger Shohei Ohtani, 30, becomes the first major league 50/50 player with 50 homers and 50 stolen bases in a season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are playing out of town in Miami today, he's injured but still playing, and he chooses today to hit a homerun ball into the stands -- a ball that would become a coveted souvenir worth an estimated $3 million for anyone selling it -- when a woman attending the game catches it! And the crowd goes wild. Then she dropped it.

• Tens of millions of Japanese were watching the game live in Japan, particularly in Tokyo, but in Florida the stadium was only half full. The Dodgers play tomorrow in Los Angeles, and ticket sales are skyrocketing as some businessmen in Japan catch flights across the Pacific to see it. And Asian Angeleno go crazy get online and snap up all available tickets. For anyone holding an Ohtani and Decoy the Dog bobblehead, it time to get on eBay and make a small fortune.
• Buddhist sports? Does it strike anyone as odd that the world's greatest golfer was Asian and Black, not a privileged white man in an almost all-white sport? How did Theravada Thai Buddhism help Tiger Woods? Then the LA Lakers basketball team keeps winning even as the Black players keep changing until someone notices it's the white coach and his Zen Buddhist practice. Good on Coach "Zen Master" Phil Jackson. If dancing-while-singing were a sport, all the J-Pop and K-Pop stealing the spotlight from our artificially-created and synthetic boy bands and all-girl bands shows that Asian agents, producers, and promoters do it better. Or say car building were a sport, could the US even dream of holding a candle to Japan? Now Japanese Buddhist Ohtani takes American baseball to new heights previously undreamt of, why, how, huh? 🎵"Anything we can do, Japan can do better, because Japan is just better whatever we do."🎵

For all its good, Japan still kills whales, dolphins

Whoops, she drops it and watches it fall into the dugout to profit no one. Maybe now it will go to a museum or a glass case in the ballpark so attendees can gawk and it and wonder how that ball, identical to all the others in play, got itself hit by the GOAT ("greatest of all time") and almost into the hands of fan.

Not satisfied with his accomplishment, Ohtani (Number 17) soon hit another homer after having stolen a base earlier. He has done more in one game than most do in a season. He has risen to be the best living player, possibly not human, and destined to be the apex of ability. More

Impossible feat

I want to marry a player, no, a rich baller.

MIAMI, Florida (AP) — Shohei Ohtani [the 700-million-dollar man] became the first major league player to exceed 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season during the most spectacular game of a history-making career for the Los Angeles Dodgers star, going deep three times and swiping two bats today (Thursday) against the Miami Marlins. [IS OHTANI HUMAN? NO.] Ohtani hit his 49th homer in the sixth inning, his 50th in the seventh, and his 51st in the ninth. He finished 6 for 6 with 10 RBIs (runs batted in), while becoming the first major league player to hit three homers and steal two bases in a single game. More
