Shohei Ohtani couldn’t wait to try something new at Dodgers’ Celebration

Shohei Ohtani found a perfect way to end his historic 2024 MLB season winning the World Series in his first year with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Ohtani was everything the Dodgers and their fans hoped he would be when they signed him to a $700 million contract last offseason. He became the first player in MLB history to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in the same season, and although he got into foul trouble in the final few games of the World Series, he did more than enough in the postseason to to help lead the Dodgers. to a title.

Ohtani had a nice party his first championship. He joined FOX Sports’ postgame show right after the game and told the crew there was one thing he was looking forward to trying for the first time: a cigar.

What a legend.

Ohtani could have an even more impressive season next year if he can return to pitching after being unable to take the mound this year following major elbow surgery in September 2023.
