Well that’s god damn adorable. Is this allowed? Isn’t this series supposed to be super fuckin toxic?
I’m not ready
If Ohtani really wants to honor Darvish, he will allow Darvish to strike him out. Even swinging the bat would be disrespecting Darvish. Really, Ohtani should just stand there and just admire Darvish’s pitches.
> “Childhood hero.”
“Fuck I’m old,” said Darvish, in Japanese.
Dude lowkey called Darvish old. Brutal.
Hope his hero walks him every at bat.
the at-bats between them will be cinema
Two favorite players. That’s gonna be sick. Sunday a must watch for me.
Yo that’s legit crazy…. It makes sense yu was young but man some perspective
Two Japanese superstars dueling in game 2 is something baseball should have gotten this year
You know, between Freddy and Shohei it’s kinda hard hating the dodgers as much as I do.
Childhood hero? They are 8 years apart.
I hope darvish strikes him out with all due respect. One of my favorite pitchers
