It might be too early to call him the greatest baseball player of all time but pundits on both sides of the Pacific often resort to such characterizations when talking about Shohei Ohtani, the Japanese ball player who has become one of the most exciting things that have happened in American baseball. After an amazing five-year stint with the Los Angeles Angels, Ohtani moved to the other LA team, the Dodgers, and in just one season managed to become a World Series champion, join the 50–50 club (50 home runs and 50 stolen bases), and get unanimously voted MVP. All these feats are commemorated in the Shohei Ohtani MVP & 50-50 Commemoration Book!
Over 80 A4 pages, the Shohei Ohtani MVP & 50-50 Commemoration Book celebrates this spectacular season for the Iwate-born Ohtani, who after four short years with the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, went on to become an international celebrity. His achievements, not least his 50-50 that no other player in the history of the sport has managed to hit in the same season, are documented through amazing action shots and data tables. Since this book has been made for fans, it comes with a 297 x 375 mm (11.7 x 14.8") poster of Ohtani doing what he does best!
