“The greatest day in baseball history.” That was how Joe Davis described Shohei Ohtnai’s game last season when he went 6-for-6 with three home runs, two doubles, 10 RBI, stole two bases and created the 50/50 club.
Somehow, roughly one year later, Ohtani has topped that game with the new greatest day in baseball history, and it sent the Los Angeles Dodges to the World Series in a 5-1 victory during Game 4 of the 2025 National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Ohtani was on the mound, and hitting leadoff. He started his day in the first inning by striking out the side, and hitting a leadoff home run.
