Shohei Ohtani isn't just getting his own day in Los Angeles this year
It's Shohei Ohtani Day in Los Angeles. The Japanese two-way superstar was honored at Los Angeles City Hall on Friday and presented with a city council resolution that declared May 17 as Shohei Ohtani Day for the duration of his Dodgers career. Ohtani signed a record $700 million, 10-year contract with the team in December, after spending six years in Anaheim with the Angels.
Roberts is of Japanese and Black descent. “Since becoming a member of the Dodger family in December, Shohei has been everything we’ve hoped for and more,” team president and CEO Stan Kasten said. 'We are grateful for his accomplishments on the field, his warmth in the clubhouse and his character in all respects, and we congratulate him on this well-deserved honor.” Ohtani's brief time with the Dodgers has been eventful on and off the field.
