Sports stars – they’re just like us.
The baseball world and, in fact, the entire sports world has been fascinated by the free-agent pursuit of Shohei Ohtani.
Let’s start with six-time All-Star Joey Votto:
Us too, Joey. We know that feeling.
Remember how the two-time MVP celebrated his final honor with the adorable dog with the mysterious name?
Ohtani’s new colleague Walker Buehler has a question about the four-legged creature.
Gavin Lux woke up to some exciting news from the Dodgers’ new star.
Remember retired reliever Trevor Heldenberger?
Let’s just say the righty hasn’t forgotten about his one-and-done appearance against Ohtani.
Kiki Hernandez is looking for some help.
2022 NL Rookie of the Year Michael Harris II had no words.
Magic Johnson, Dodgers part owner and Los Angeles sports legend, was happy with Ohtani’s decision to join the team.
The news was so big that Vladimir Guerrero, the Hall of Famer and longtime Angels great, congratulated Ohtani in two languages.
Former NFL player JJ Watt was at a loss for words.
Then Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes backed Piggy into Watt’s position.
