Shotime.

 Shotime.


Last season in the MLB…


The Japanese Shogun, Shohei Ohtani, was sidelined from the mound, recovering from his second Tommy John surgery. Skeptics questioned if he’d ever return to form—let alone justify the largest contract in MLB history: 10 years, $700M, with $680M deferred.


The result?


Shotime. Literally.


Injured or not, Shohei proved he’s better than most players at full health. He etched his name even deeper into baseball history with a historic 40/40 season, capped by a walk-off grand slam—the kind of moment legends are made of.


But Ohtani wasn’t done.


He authored something never seen before: the first-ever 50/50 season. How?


By dropping an all-time stat line:

  • 6 hits

  • 5 extra-base hits

  • 3 home runs

  • 10 RBIs

  • 2 stolen bases

  • Perfect at the plate.


Let that sink in.


Most players don’t hit 3 homers in a game.

Most never record 6 hits in one night.

Few hit 50 HRs or swipe 50 bags in a season.

Shohei did all of it. In one game.


Then?

He casually brought home a World Series championship.


Because of course he did


This season?

Same beast. Different year.


Ohtani already leads the MLB in:

  • Home Runs (20)

  • Runs Scored (59)

  • Top 3 in Total Bases & OPS


All while not even at full strength.


The 6’4” right-handed mega star is slowly ramping up on the mound again too—with bullpen sessions reportedly hitting 96–97 mph.


Let’s not forget: before injury, he was pumping 102 mph gas.


So whether it’s a nationally televised Sunday night showdown or a quiet Tuesday evening…


The Shogun is here to break records, ignite history, and win.


What’s next for the most legendary two-way athlete baseball’s ever seen?


Find out soon…

Game 7.

  that last game of a series that determines whether you pack your bags and head to vacation before the next season starts.. or if you continue facing challenger after challenger on your way to the NBA Finals.. this postseason has been nothing short of absolute cinema: we’ve been upsets, devastating injuries, legacies hang in question as few teams continue forward into the depths of the forest that we call the playoffs. in the first round, we saw a timeless king and his newly acquired magician from the Mavericks fall short to a Ant-Man and his flock of Wolves in a series where the storied Lakers were favored to win. we witnessed an assassin with deadly range, his newly acquired butler, their tenacious forward of Green and co from the state that hails the Golden Bridge shoot the Rockets from out of orbit, sending them crashing back into Earth as the Warriors sent the young astronomers home in a 7-game marquee series. out East, we saw a Greek God fall to a playmaking/sharpshootin...

Controversy. Chaos. Courtside.

  NBA controversy. a bit of controversy makes for a good story: villain beginnings, rivalries and personal disputes always starting a media narrative.. in the NBA, some of the biggest stars find their names snared in controversy out in Minnesota, Ant-Man and his pack of Wolves are the surprise team, still alive in the playoffs after sending the timeless king, Lebron James and the Lakers packing in 5: even with his newly acquired magician from the Mavericks, Luka Doncic, following the most controversial and unexpected midseason trade of all time..  he followed up by sending the assassin with deadly range and the newly adopted butler from Miami’s vibrant Heat in the same manner: a 5 game beating.. but Minnesota’s young, athletic superstar? found his name in a world of controversy when reports came out that he’d fathered several children, with him only being 23. the media currently surrounds his ongoing back and forth with the mother of his 4-month old daughter, given th...
