Superstar hitter and pitcher Shohei Ohtani 'spent the fourth inning (of Tuesday's All-Star Game) standing outside the American League clubhouse, surrounded more than 100 reporters, saying how he had the absolute time of his life,' writes BNightengale.
He grounded out to second baseman Adam Frazier in the first inning.
He was nervous, but felt immediately accepted walking into the American League All-Star clubhouse, flanked by his heroes he watched growing up in Japan, including Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. Says Yankees All-Star pitcher Gerrit Cole: “It’s just so marvelous to watch. He’s showing anything’s possible.’’
Now, he knows the most popular man in all of Japan, wondering how in the world he could even walk the streets in Japan this winter without being swarmed by fans. You’ve got to be awfully special for MLB to change the rules just for him, permitting Ohtani to stay in the game as a DH even after leaving the game as a pitcher following the first inning.
Says Tampa Bay Rays catcher Mike Zunino, who homered in the game: “The guy can do it all. It’s crazy.’’
