This was the best baseball moment ever! I am 72 years old and a baseball fan that watched Mantle, Koufax, Mays, Gibson, Clemente, Aaron,Nolan, Randy, and Bonds. That was the most exciting baseball ever in my lifetime. ESPN has downplayed it and the rest of the world was thrilled by it. Mr. Ohtani is the best baseball player ever to play the game. So talented, so respectful, so humble.

@sicottish Год назад

Right there with you...the only at-bat that compares to this, that I experienced, was Gibson vs Eckersley in game 1 of the '88 WS. Ahh...baseball.

@javier_rivera_torres Год назад

Finally a host who recognizes the gift the baseball gods gave us AND who understands what an incredibly unbelievable thing Ohtani is doing to pitch, hit, run at elite MLB level.

Also understands the bigger picture that WBC is to raise the global visibility of baseball and the need for next gen to be inspired to choose baseball over globally popular sports like soccer.

The WBC semi-final match between Japan and Mexico was a heart-stopping, thrilling and most entertaining and dramatic match. It was the best game in that sense. After that, the Japan-US confrontation that came to the final became a work of art of the highest quality that should continue to be talked about forever.

I’ll be honest, and this is kinda a racist take but true - he definitely wouldn’t be in football. How many Asian Football players do you know in the NFL?

He might’ve been steered to Basketball or Soccer but his true skills are in Baseball.

@sleepyheadz Год назад

@@starwalk3r Babe statistically was either great at throwing or great at swinging, rarely both at the same time. Ohtani's whole career was doing both at the highest level. We can never compare across eras. Babe played in an age where professionalism and training are minimal, so natural talent beats out lesser talents. Ohtani plays in an age where training and professionalism is high, if talent is not coupled with hard work, lesser talents with hard work beats it. Ohtani has the rare combination of mental toughness and flexibility as well as physical strength and agility. Put that together with psychotic level hard work and dedication, you get the monster we're seeing now. His 6 pitch K over Trout was the best demonstration of his mind mastery and physical delivery. Mike had no chance.
