The first heartfelt message poured in from none other than Magic Johnson, former Dodgers player and current broadcaster. The basketball Hall of Famer took to social media to share his excitement, saying, “On behalf of the @Dodgers’ Ownership Group, I want to congratulate Shohei on being the 1st in MLB history to have a 50/50 season!” But Magic didn’t stop there; he expressed his excitement for Dodgers fans, experiencing the making of MLB history. And guess what? Another warm wish from the basketball realm was just around the corner!

That was from Lakers superstar LeBron James. He captured the awe many felt as Ohtani reached new heights, posting for his 53 million followers: “THIS GUY IS UNREAL!!!! WOWZERS.” With breaking so many records even apart from those he made yesterday, Shohei Ohtani has definitely been unreal. Do you know he recently became the second most Japanese player with the highest stolen bases (49)? So, the praises are much needed, and didn’t stop there; icons from the hardwood weren’t alone in the celebration; the football realm quickly joined the celebration.

Three-time Super Bowl champion and two-time NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes couldn’t hold back his excitement, posting just one word to capture the moment: “Insane!!!” And honestly, how else could you describe his gameplay? Ohtani blasted his 49th homer in the sixth inning, followed by his 50th in the seventh and his 51st in the ninth. While it’s great to see the baseball player getting love all over the sports realm, that wasn’t all. Baseball legends, especially those whose records Ohtani shattered, joined in the celebration with their own shout-outs.

Big-time kudos came flying in from the original 40/40 king himself—José Canseco. That’s right, the man who blasted at least 40 homers and swiped 40 bases in a single season back in 1988 hopped on social media to give a shout-out to Ohtani, posting, “35 years ago, I created the 40/40 club. Shohei Ohtani created the 50/50 club tonight. Congratulations to him!” Talk about a legendary endorsement, but hold your horses; this isn’t the only record that Ohtani broke.

How could one of only 15 players to ever rack up 10 or more RBIs in a single game not weigh in on Ohtani’s incredible feat? Fred Lynn, who drove in 10 runs against the Tigers back on June 18, 1975, gushed about Ohtani’s performance, calling it an “unprecedented display of talent.” And in true baseball fashion, he tipped his cap, saying, “A salute from one 10 RBI guy to another!” The 30-year-old unlocked so many achievements that few of them might just get lost in the buzz; did you know Ohtani now owns the Dodgers’ single-season home run record?

The man whose record of 49 he surpassed with his three-homer game in Miami, Shawn Green, had some kind words for him too. Green congratulated Shohei Ohtani, noting that he felt honored to be mentioned in the same sentence as the player of the moment. Now that Ohtani has clinched the 50-50 milestone with games still left in the season, with this historic chase behind him, what could possibly be next? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
