“He is Always Perfect”: MLB’s Gesture Towards Two-Way Phenom Shohei Ohtani on Earth Day Instantly Melts Fans

Every era of baseball brings something or someone new to the diamond. The last century saw the rise of MLB greats like Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and Jackie Robinson, among many, many others. This century has seen the likes of Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez gain legendary status. And currently, baseball fans are witnessing history being made with names like Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani. The Japanese phenomenon, in particular, has taken residence in fans’ hearts and refuses to leave. And one of the reasons has to do with Earth Day.

The two-way sensation is breaking records left and right, and in a way, redefining baseball at its core. An icon in the making, MLB will never forget him. And neither will planet Earth.

The need of the hour is environmental protection at such a large scale that humans celebrate an entire day to dedicate to it. Raising awareness about the issue is certainly important, but this is the kind of day that some celebrate daily. And that includes Shohei Ohtani.

At any LA Angels game, it’s always easy to spot Ohtani picking up random bits and pieces of trash. In fact, MLB made a montage of it and fans are loving it.

One fan explained how the two-way star might have turned out this way because of Japanese culture.

It was nothing but love for Sho-time.

The 28-year-old is giving a prime performance in his prime years. But in a strange twist, some experts say it all may be because of climate change.

Global warming in recent decades has meant higher temperatures than before. The natural consequences of that are warmer air and less density. Combine the two and it produces very little resistance, which means there is more space for a ball to fly through.

But even though it’s fun to watch one player after another hit long balls, unfortunately for this generation, the planet comes first!
