I've thought about that too. Despite how well it speaks of their character, having these unassuming guys in Anaheim is a practically the equivalent of accomplishing these things in obscurity (especially with the current state of baseball's popularity in the US).

If they played for the Yankees, you'd have a better chance of a Magic/Bird to begin the '80s NBA boost to the sport

Now hitting .211 with a 4.40 ERA. Yes it's very early, but let's be real, he is off to a slow start.

Well, the labor dispute has turned April into the de facto spring training. Lots of fellas are off to slow starts, and I've seen a lot of injuries as well.

I don't follow much modern baseball, but I do like Ohtani. Great athlete and ambassador for the sport.

Absolutely. We live in Orange County and last year Ohtani really got my young son into baseball. I'm very happy for that.

BTW, Shohei is having a nice night at the plate....
