They say money can buy anything. And despite the counter-statements from some, celebrities have no small ways of showing off their wealth. Sometimes, fame and fortune are well-earned, and people love seeing how a celebrity is spending it. In the case of Shohei Ohtani and Yu Darvish, their global popularity has brought them a dream suite from Nippon Professional Baseball.
The Japanese players, who’ve been playing in Major League Baseball for the last several years, just returned to their home country for World Baseball Classic. Darvish, who plays for the Padres, is joining Ohtani, who’s an Angels superstar. Both will play on team Japan as the game starts in a few days. But first, let’s take a look at their fancy digs.

With two single beds set up in the main area and the two players’ jerseys set up over each bed, the room looks comfortable with a TV, desk, and couch. The brown and grey theme is soothing, but the real attraction is out of the balcony. With glass railings surrounding the corner, one can see the huge ballpark at the back. The room is right at the edge of it, with a perfect view to watch a game should anyone be inclined to do so.
The Japanese team is looking strong for World Baseball Classic
Ohtani is revered by anyone who has seen him play, regardless of their allegiance to the Angels. A two-way phenom, the 28-year-old returns to Japan after six long years to lead the team. Darvish is a veteran pitcher who was part of the 2009 winning WBC team, so chances are looking good.
