‘I was waiting for this day’: Japanese fans react as Shohei Ohtani makes baseball history – video

Fans in Tokyo react after baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani made history as the first Major League Baseball player to hit 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season. The Japanese player led the LA Dodgers to a victory over the Miami Marlins, hitting three home runs and stealing two bases to achieve the historic feat. Already considered the best player in baseball, with his performance as a pitcher and batter surpassing even Babe Ruth, Ohtani reached new heights as an offensive player while taking a year off from pitching. The 27-year-old signed a $700 million, 10-year contract with the Dodgers last December, one of the largest in professional sports.
