With two games left to finish the regular season, it feels like people are bandwagon-ing on what will be Shohei Ohtani's 55-55 season. The insane Japanese designated hitter has already eclipsed Ichiro Suzuki's 56 stolen bases, but the 55th homer will be the feather in his awesome season.
Oh, wait.
Triple crown, anyone?
Meanwhile, I am sipping an ice-cold venti White Mocha Americano at Starbucks SM North as I contemplate the time when the Funko Pops of Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts are still available. I just saw that Funko will release Shohei Funkos in the distant future. While Shohei already had one, this time he'll don the Los Angeles Dodgers uniform.
Me likey.
As mentioned, Shohei brought me back to baseball. He is basically what Caitlin Clark is to the WNBA in terms of putting asses into seats. I'm even in on Teoscar Hernandez ruining every interview because of his penchant for dumping water on his teammates, as well as the female interviewer who has had hits and misses in terms of avoiding energy drink bath water.
Anyway...
