Tokyo residents delighted as Shohei Ohtani makes history as MLB's first 50-50 man

Japan rejoiced on Friday (September 20) after national hero Shohei Ohtani blasted his way into Major League Baseball history as the first player to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a season. Ohtani, 30, came into the game on Thursday (September 19) evening needing one stolen base and two home runs to achieve the feat, a first in the 148-year history of the majors. He ended with 51 each in the 20-4 rout of the Miami Marlins. Evening commuters in Tokyo shared their excitement at Ohtani's record achievement. "Everyone was buzzing about it at work today, I think it's amazing. I doubt that record will ever be broken," 59 year-old construction company employee Naoyuki Ogawa said.
