“I didn’t expect to be this great! Heaven has given him so much.”
“Korean Express” Park Chan-ho (retired) praised Shohei Ohtani (LA Dodgers) on his social network service (SNS) on the 21st.
Park Chan-ho said, “I didn’t expect to be this great. Heaven gave him so much. He is special. I believe that 50 home runs-50 steals will set a new goal of 60 home runs-60 steals and make sure to go that far.”
Ohtani made a new history on the 20th (Korea time) by recording the first 50 home runs and 50 steals in the Major League Baseball (ML). In response, Park Chan-ho, who played as a pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, praised his junior.
“Otani has instilled more solid possibilities and bigger goals in Asians,” Park wrote. “To be the best on the best stage. Dreamers who watch him will feel and be sure of the possibilities and draw their own futures in a bigger and broader way.” 스포츠토토
Posting a photo with Ohtani, Park Chan-ho said, “I remember my meeting with him, and I commend him for his growth. I hope that good luck and light will be revealed in his future moves.”
Finally, Park Chan-ho wrote, “I hope that the light will be delivered to our Korean dreamers, who are fighting for Kim Ha-sung, Lee Jung-hoo, Bae Ji-hwan, and Dreamers, who are fighting for the minor league. Fighting Korea! Fighting Dreamers!”
Ohtani also added a home run and a stolen base to record 52 home runs and 52 steals in the game on Sunday. Ohtani broke the ML record for both home runs and stolen bases in a game. By recording both home runs and stolen bases, Ohtani increased his game record to 14, surpassing the 13-game record set by Ricky Henderson of the New York Yankees in 1986.
Ohtani will challenge for the first time in his history of 60 home runs and 60 steals in the remaining eight games.
