Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has revealed the Porsche sports car he received from Shohei Ohtani.
According to a report by Japanese sports media outlet Junichi Sports on Friday, Roberts told reporters ahead of Thursday’s game that “Ohtani gave him a Porsche sports car to commemorate his record for most home runs by a Japanese big leaguer.”
Ohtani, who signed a 10-year, $700 million (about 95.13 billion won) contract with the Dodgers last December, broke the record for the most home runs by a Japanese big leaguer during a home game against the New York Mets at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, 바카라사이트 last month. He hit a two-run homer off Jung-Wol Woo in the top of the third inning as the No. 2 designated hitter.
“The Porsche sports car is currently parked on my desk in the manager’s office,” Roberts said, prompting laughter from the media, “and I gave him a nice toy Porsche, probably because I didn’t tell him which one I liked.”
“Ohtani, who has a sponsorship deal with Porsche, made headlines when he gave a Porsche sports car to the wife of Joe Kelly, who retired his No. 17 jersey when he joined the Dodgers,” the outlet reported, adding, “This time, Ohtani sent a gift with a touch of sophisticated American humor.” 사설 토토사이트
