There are moments in baseball history when fans know for certain that they are witnessing something incredible, and if they had any doubt that Shohei Ohtani was that moment, this week crushed all remaining uncertainty as the two-way sensation added to his accolades with two Players Choice Awards — Major League Baseball Player of The Year and American League Outstanding Player.
Any Angels fan will tell you that everything Ohtani accomplished during his 2021 season not only earned him this recognition, but his hard work both on the mound and in the batter’s box paved the way for a historic moment in Angels history.
