After this game, Ohtani said,
"I think people boo opposing players because they love their team, so I respect that kind of passion as someone who loves baseball as much as I do."
that’s an absolutely amazing take on someone else’s experience.
Wow! So whether they see him as a hero or a villain, he is just happy he can be the catalyst for passionate fans. I mean, how can you dislike this man? An amazing athlete and person.
@@fogelmclovin2694 fans don't always necessarily boo a player because they hate the player or the player is a bad person or anything, they just do it to get inside the player's head and make them feel uncomfortable which increases their chances of messing up
@@たかちゃん-j3q same thing.
He is all class for saying that, the best thing to happen to baseball in our lifetimes. I want nothing more in life but to have a teammate like that in anything I do.
Look at how kind he is...giving away souvenirs.
Hahahaha good one lol 😂🎉
LMAO!!!
To the less fortunate 😂😂😂
It’s so hard to be mad with him because he’s just soooooo good
Unbelievably talented, totally respectful of the game and anyone he interacts with (that we can see, at least), and always seems to be having fun on the field. Even Dodger haters have to respect what a marvel this dude is.
So fn good. I mean, a phenom above all phenoms. Dominant Pitcher and dominant power hitter?
@@abrahamkim1078he was genetically engineered
Yah his batting numbers are insane
I guess if you like followers
Ohtani : Booing is my power
He’s a bum
@@Dept246 How so?
@@Dept246yall hate him for no reason like haters gotta hate
Why do we let these leaves play our game anyway?
@@ClaytonBigsby01😅 loser!
I like how he salutes the other teams head coach before every first at bat
Pure class.
Japanese baseball culture is very much based on respect for the opposition
Unlike doyer fans
@@Zyron22At least we are fans of a winning team 🤷🏻♂️
@@Zyron22dodgers for life
How can you not like this guy. He’s getting booed and still takes to time to greet the umpire and the catcher, after the game he said he respects the fans for booing because it shows how passionate they are, and against all odds, he actually gets me to watch dodgers games sometimes. Absolute legend.
Isn't he the guy who got away with some shady gambling shinnanegans?
@@borRIINGwho cares. You see that homerun?
@@borRIINGthat was his manager. Shohei only speaks Japanese and his manager was his translator who also had access to Shohei’s financials. The manager illegally stole money from Shohei and used it to gamble.
@@jackanderson6966 lol, you really believe that scapegoat story? They obviously threw him under the bus to keep the image of their beloved MLB goodboy squeaky clean
@@borRIINGsounds like u have already decided on the story though u seem to have none of the facts. Good luck with that mentality
We are witnessing a once in a lifetime player. What a treat!
He bet on baseball
Once in a lifetime like Pete rose?
He’s had a few good seasons but the strain of pitching and hitting may cause him injuries. It will be interesting to how he pitches in the future.

That swing is wild!!!, no effort, no tension just clean af.
It's a bigger version of Ichiro Suzuki
@@williamgullett5911no, not even close
Yeah, he's the closest to Babe Ruth we've ever seen. I heard The 'Bambino's' hit had a distinctive sound, much like Shoehei's!
I think he's one of the only players in the MLB who is liked by almost every single fan base. At least for me. I don't normally like players from other teams but he's just so good and such a nice guy it's hard not to like him
I normally don't hate players from other teams, but him I can't stand for the bad he has done to baseball.
@@lobotomyscam1051please explain
@@lobotomyscam1051cry about it
@@lobotomyscam1051what did he do? I haven’t been as involved in baseball as much as i used to be
Mike trout but that’s because he plays on the angels. If he was a yankee his whole career there’d be a lot more haters
I don't think I could boo Ohtani. Man's too nice and treats the game of baseball with an unseen level of respect.
The fact that he tipped his hat to the catcher and the ump says it all...RESPECT!
The USA can learn alot about respect from this man.
Other countries have culture.
Ohtani minding his business, paying his respect to the empire and knocking a homer, classic Shoehei 😊
Japanese guy pays respects to the empire🗿🗿
That was so gay you have to be a real baseball fan. You probably suck ass at it too

How can anyone boo this man. I’m a Yankees fanatic and I love him lol
Then you're NOT a fanatic. It's not personal it's business
They’re booing him because he didn’t sign for the Blue Jays. It was down to the Blue Jays and the Dodgers.
Bc U get it, boss. U get it.
@@Haterade420 he could never win in TO...have you seen their hockey team? LOL
great…. now how do we get out hands on him?!! dodgers have no business having talent like that 😂😂
Ohtani gathering energy from the boos like a spirit bomb.
I love this guy, he loves baseball, works hard and deserves all the good that comes with it.
Beautiful swing
Also loves to gamble.
Can't imagine booing him. He's a great personality, likeable guy, and is insanely good. No reason to boo
They booed bc he was supposedly on a plane to Toronto and those reports were fake so their mad
Classy,and talented!❤❤❤
That’s crazy that you can boo this man . Nothing but the utmost respect he deserves
Toronto specifically boos Ohtani because in the off season his management team (allegedly) spread rumors that he intended to sign with the Blue Jays in order to make the Dodgers bump up his contract price to $700 million when it was speculated be closer to $600 million. Basically played both organizations against each other and got the Blue Jays fans' hopes up. He knows why it will be like that when he plays in Toronto.
@@kelpklepto oh ok . Makes sense.
@@kelpkleptoonly people in Toronto believed that lol
@@TanNguyen510not true at all lol, multiple huge reporters broke it, and dodgers nation gave up and started asking who the dodgers should pivot to signing 😂
@@slamcrowell6014 again. No one in the lower 48 believed that. No one is willingly signing with Toronto if there’s better options on the table
I hope Toronto fans keep booing this happy man. It seems like the boos help him hit HRs
It's like Cristiano Ronaldo or Floyd Mayweather say!!
"I LIKE WHEN I GOT TO CALM EVERYONE DOWN"
@dylancarrigan99 His team won more than the opponent team did in the series. I think he made the right decision.
I am from a small town in bc humbleness is a huge deal for lots of us folks and for the record I absolutely wouldn’t take a free flight to Toronto I’d sell the ticket!!! Lots of people over there are an embarrassment!!!!!
@@dawsonpittman9860lol
@@Malouco Cristiano Ronaldo maybe but Floyd Mayweather thats disgusting lol
Same fan booing: OMFG I CAUGHT AN OHTANI HR BALL
SAYONARA!!!
Gotta love Toronto fans staying salty that they were lied to about Shohei Ohtani signing, and booed him when news reporters are at fault for making a false report
You should be asking why the pitcher threw a perfect 4 seam up the middle.
Nah Torotno fans are just garbage overall...
Canadians are weird
The shitty reporting is not why they booed him. They booed him because he used the Jays (and other teams to a lesser degree) to jack up his payday in LA when he probably knew he was going to LA all along. The Dodgers actually got used too, having to pay him a least $100 million more because of it.
honestly he sold out to join LA , super questionable you’re defending him..
Even though I am a toronto fan I still love how shohei just shut up the crowd with one swing of the bat
Sounded like the crowd actually became louder with that homer .
Fans are wrong to boo Ohtani, it should be Jon Morosi....😅
Ohtani seems like such a genuine person and one of the best to do it in baseball. How can you boo him?
Would have love to hear Scully calling the Dodger games with Shohei on the team
This guy is the best ambassador you could find for baseball!!!! ,He is so polite, and he gives the fans 110 percent ,even the opposition looks at him with awe !! Plus when he comes to town ,there is never any empty seats !!!
Yes! I agree!
How or why would anyone bother this guy, he is a gentleman in all ways as far as i can see!!!
The booing isn't because he's a bad guy or something. It's just what happens when you play an away game
@@janetnartey9844also because he went with the Dodgers instead of the Jays
Yeah but his choice @DW-op7ly
Because he’s a cheater
@@Truth3305 tell that to the NBA fans these days who think it’s okay Lebron James made super teams for the last 14 years
Special, special player💯
That man's composure is something else
He’s a humble dude. He respects everyone; even if they oppose him. He’s always chatting it up w/ players on the opposite team while in the field, running the bases 🧢🤙🏼❤️
Can’t imagine being mad at someone just for being the best at what they do.
..it’s called being tacky, immature and insecure amongst other things..
Booing NEVER works. Just pumps up the great players
That was a huge cheer after that HR
They should boo their prime minister.
Shuuuuuuuuut uppppppppp !
but i thought sports should be separate from politics?
😂😂😂
Omg can we just not do this for one god damn reel???
He's doing fine to me they don't pay no Health Care
THIS is further proof that Ohtani made the right decision.
Ya ok..guy hits hr anywhere, gtfo
@@thisguy8373That’s not at all what he meant genius 😂
His legacy is going to be equated to Kevin Durant, if he wins he had to join a super team to do it.
@@terryrodgers9560 Different sport my friend LOL. In basketball you're supposed to carry because of how much impact one can have on the court. Playing field is smaller, one guy can have possession of the ball much longer. In football (soccer), baseball, you can't win alone. Even in the NFL, American Football, you can win alone since QB are the difference maker. One person cannot carry the team in football or baseball, but one person can in basketball and american football.
@clarkesmith. I agree with everything else except the american football part. A qb is a difference maker, but a qb needs a good WR to throw to. He needs a strong O-line to stop the defense from tackling him. He needs a runner to get those extra yards for a new set of downs. A QB can make a difference, but unless they have a decent team. The qb will get hurt
He seems to truly love and respect the game of baseball
Can’t not stop to comment how awesome and unbelievable and grateful to see a once in a lifetime talent.
Never even thought of a pitcher doing anything with the bat, and absolutely no where within leagues of what Shohei Ohtani does on the regular and like it’s a walk in the park.
Putting all of baseball on his back, with ease. Gah dang it, it 🤯 every time thinking about it. Thank God.
Shut up.
Hasn't been anything like this since Ruth 100 years ago
He's not anywhere near babe ruth kid, stop that s#it.
His best year on the mound was 15-9 he's never hit 50 hr let alone 60 his lifetime avg is .277 only hitting over .300 1time barely (304).
Ruth won 20+ games multiple times has hit 50 four times and his lifetime avg is .342. once again, stop that s#it.
If you are booing Ohtani something is very wrong up in Canada.
It’s cause Toronto originally seemed like they were gonna sign ohtani, but then LAD swooped in with a larger contract. That’s what they’re bitter about
There’s a lot of things very wrong up in Canada.
As a torontonian myself i can say its more like india up here than canada lately
@@colingriffin4463 Seattle has just recently become like india too 😢
Think Prime Minister. That's what is wrong with Canada.
Ohtani is really hard to hate…that man is the nicest that you can get. He’s not on my team but I have so much respect for him.
How can you boo ohtani no team should be booing this man he’s the goat of the league
I live in Toronto and I would CHEER FOR OTANI and NEVER BOO HIM
He never said he was coming to Toronto. You all assumed he was. He never gave a hint of it.
This is how Toronto acts about any free agent in sports. Most annoying and entitled sports city ever.
This man is saving baseball 😂 answer the boos with a homerun
I don’t know why anybody would boo this man. He is just so good, it’s amazing.
"boo that" 😂
This is what makes sports great, the cheering and booing. Toronto fans have a right to boo but at the end of the day you know they’re booing because they really like the guy. It’s all good
I wish they wouldn't do that though. It always makes me search for some heavy breasted woman they might be looking at.😕
Yeah, sure.
why do they have a right to boo?
@@ktakashismith Because it’s called freedom of choice.
@@paulrevere1479 Freedom to choose to act like spoiled entitled children, hooray.
the crowd like well damn we give credit where it's due haha, so they can feel less crunchy
Such an incredible baseball player...outstanding home run legend, excellent pitcher, record setting base runner, MVP & GOAT...but mostly so very polite, respectful & wonderful human being & role model...GOD bless this amazing athlete ....
He so respectful...how can you not like this dude.
As I used to say when I heard a boo and the N-Word before hitting a HR in college, "Speak softly and keep carrying a big stick" I hit .454 and was a 2nd round pick. God blessed me to keep being the best me and my dream came true!
Sorry you had to experience that. Please know that there are more of us out here that respect and stand with our fellow man, Regardless who of color. Keep the faith and fight the good fight.

About 6 months ago, Toronto was absolutely GLAZING this man. Crazy switch up
Class act 🤙🏼
Dude is a Machine! 😮
I was in attendance at this game. Dude hits a pop up that never wants to land. I wish he sign with the Jays too but I will never boo him.
My man channeled his ancestors and got into samurai pose🤣
Actions speak much louder than words 😅⚾
Yep. I always liked to get their fans All riled up. Love the Game .
Man this is just like a movie
They booed him because Toronto was on a short list of potential teams he may have gone to after leaving the Angels. Said then Toronto would never happen due to 50+% taxes for his income bracket.
This is one of the classiest baseball players I’ve seen lately!! 💙💙💙
I don’t like the dodgers but since his MLB debut, he’s lived up and surpassed all the hype surrounding his name, laddies and gentlemen…. We are witnessing the birth of a Hall of Famer in the making!!!
How? Hes below avg on the mound, his offense is amongst the league leaders but nowhere near the all-time greats so what are you talking about
@@hienzguedarian2477 I just came from a video analyzing how he just became the sixth player ever to get a 40-40 and the first in doing it this early in the season.
@@ACSMEX yes, all correct, and?
@@ACSMEX I'm not sure if you think this counters my statement, it doesn't. He's 7/8 years in has 212 hr batting .277 lifetime , a little over 500 rbi. I mean let's say he gets the same his career(which he won't because you're production drops as you age) so if you triple it that's 24 years to get a little over 600 hrs 1500 rbis and that .277 will drop but let's be nice and say it stays the same at .277.
600hr 1500rbi and .277 avg. That's hall of Fame but you think he can play 24 years?
@@ACSMEX so a possible hall of famer would be a more accurate statement.
Toronto booing him like he ever was gonna sign there 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Crowd: BOOOO
Ohtani: oh yea, well BOOO you too!
There’s 3 people in history you cannot boo: Larry Legend, Michael Jordan, and Shoehei Ohtani
You can indeed boo mj 😂 he won't do nun
Lebron better…
That was so reminiscent of Ricky Henderson leading off bam!!!!
He translated the boos as actually reverse cheers 🎉
As a Toronto fan i dont condone these actions. Honestly I figured Shohei wouldn’t have signed with us in the first place it makes a lot for sense to stay in LA
Like Reggie Jackson said if they don't boo yah they don't know yah
Anyone else notice the right fielders dance?
no one cares.
Only Shohei is in people's eyes
Good eye! That was funny
Sooo respectful to Shoehei❤❤❤❤
We should be booing the jays until they start to win or trade their primma Donna’s for descent ball players
The manners on this guy are impeccable what a great dude
Epic!!!!
Boos give him added power to his swing 😁
Shohei... One bad Samurai
Aw poor babies are sad he didn’t want to play in Toronto 😂
I love this guy. I don’t watch baseball but when I saw him. He’s so good.
Why are they booing? Because he didnt sign with your team? Thats pathetic
The word pathetic is overused. No one cares.

I'm in Australia and never watched baseball but I'd watch any baseball game with him in it
For an athlete to have such grace, respect and talent is entertaining as much
Cry blow jays cry
hes like the most respectful dude, kinda annoying to hear anyone boo him
yeah right i totally get if somebody a cheater, but shohei ? cmon man hes like one of the nicest dude on the planet. I bet the boos made him even want to hit a homer even more. I would be scared to boo him if he was vs my team.
An NBA player just got banned for life while Shohei is only booed for the same gambling offense. Reinstate Pete Rose! 🌹
Proof he gambled, I’ll wait 🥱
man stfu and then enjoy greatness while you can and stop making unbacked claims bozo
There’s no evidence of him gambling. Get over it
He got booed because insecure Toronto fans were in their feelings and were let down during the offseason by Jon Morosi lol
Also, Porter was betting on basketball games he partook in and didn’t play in a game that altered a situation in an actual game. None of the bets that Ippei had placed were on baseball.
There are actual verified legal documents stating that he didn’t do it and that he had no knowledge.
It’s freely available to read.
And no don’t act like the MLB is somehow in the pockets of the feds with some huge coverup. If anything the feds would want to have a generational bust of one of the biggest athletes out there.
love how crushing a home run turned the boos into a louder cheer.
Respect!
From boos to cheers
That's one of the most Japanese things I've ever seen. Nice nods, swaggy step up to the plate and solid HR into the crowd going nuts
So in other words you've NEVER seen ANYTHING Japanese
Idk the context and i dont even watch baseball but damn if that aint one of the coolest badass moments ever. bro bowed his head like a gentleman and smiled and than hit a freaking bomb to humble everyone
Otheni is class act!
