Honestly I have been one of the fanboys since he was in Japan and was over the moon about him coming to MLB. Disappointed he wasn’t on my team, but definitely bought his cards.
I remember numerous discussions about the difficulty he would have facing injuries as a dual player, discussion about how his career may never recover after each injury and the normal overpaid for a dh yammering. All the normal pessimism I would expect in a thread basically about any player (except Judge, who is Jeter 2.0 on the he can do no wrong scale, lol).
However, I never once ever, even as the Ohtani defender…remember someone stating he was overhyped based on his race or “wokeness”. That’s new to me too. I’d like to see that thread as well.
I have been so happy to see quite literally my favorite current player do something that no one in history has done prior. It’s a shame to have it flipped into something to distract from that.
