Excited to see him pitching next season too!

Ohtani is amazing (not that that is revelatory) but I wish he would hit some balls on the ground. Every at bat is either out of the park or an out. He needs to work on “in” for next season.

Correction- the Athletic originally posted the pic with the stat.

They are no longer journalists, but rather commentators looking for a salacious headline. Fact-checking is so passé for NYT.

He is so good that he was the most valuable player even without pitching.

So, will he also get the MVP from the gamblers hall of shame??

And Bonds had to cheat to do it...

Thought DHs couldn’t win MVPs??? David Ortiz will be expecting his trophies

The only difference is that people would actually save Shohei Ohtani from a burning building.

Congrats Shohei!

I don’t agree with this pick. And personally do t care about anyone else’s opinion…. I have mine you have yours. A DH doesn’t deserve it….. ever. It’s a popularity contest.

Don’t spread your propaganda here. Go away!

💙 Shohei 💙

Shohei is one of the goats!

A story behind a paywall? You must be kidding!

To this day I will never understand why the Reds traded Frank Robinson to the Orioles for Milt Pappas

Congratulations, Shohei!

I loved the small headed Pirates version of Barry.

Go Dodger blue!

Bonds was on steroids

And Shohei doesn't juice.

I am a dodgers fan. I never saw this coming. I thought they would loose in the first round!!

Think of it as being around to see Babe Ruth yourself

Should be expelled for gambling No way he didn’t know what was going on

He's so much fun to watch.

And he has a cute dog!

And, Shohei did it with a messed up arm and no 'roids.

People sure gave him a free pass. Bonds was hall of fame before the juice. McGuire juiced his entire career.

A different breed! I wonder if he's going to pitch next year

Tremendous talent

He is impressive.

Steroids much?

He still got away with betting on baseball. MLB needs to let Pete Rose be eligible for the hall of fame

He will never have another season like this. Once he starts pitching again, he will go back to his normal stats.

In Shohei we trust. Amazing baseball player and such a nice guy to boot.

I’m parroting the results of the federal investigation. I actually read the very long indictment against Ippei and the overwhelming evidence

It's beyond naive to think a professional bookmaker with the ability to float millions in debt to a client is going to do that for someone on an interpreter's salary, without solid assurance there's, at a minimum, silent backing from someone who can actually cover that float. /2

I certainly hope that, unlike Barry, Shohei’s head size will stay the same for the remainder of his career.

Frank Robinson also won it in the first year with his new club.

THANK YOU, I'VE BEEN SAYING THAT ALL ALONG. LINDOR WAS CHEATED.

How do you know either guy did or didn’t? I didn’t see hm do any of these things since I am not privy to be there but Dodgers players have let slip l a strong respect for as him. Being a blowhard is culturally vulgar for him so it is much more likely he will not be doing much of this in public.

That’s all sentiment/opinion unless you were in the dugout with them, and not in line with what his teammates have posted/said. If one of the voters was a Mets reporter, their input on why they voted as they did would be valuable

Barry should be in the Hall.

Lindor deserved to win. What the hell did Ohtani do on the field? ZILCH.

I hope he bet on it

2024 MLB World Series: LA vs. NY; 2025 MLB WS: LA vs. NY; 2026 MLB WS: LA vs. NY; 2027 MLB WS: LA vs. NY; 2028 MLB WS: LA vs. NY; 2029 MLB WS: LA vs. NY; 2030 MLB WS: LA vs. NY; 2031 MLB WS: LA vs. NY; 2032 MLB WS: LA vs. NY; 2033 MLB WS: LA vs. NY… After a while, who TF cares?

Aaron Judge Won his 2nd MVP in the last 3 years!!!

How about someone who can actually play baseball.

русская лапта как символ их захвата США

I don’t think Ohtani abuses STEROIDS !!! Bonds was a cheater. Cheater. Cheater.

And before the bullshit starts, Bonds did this clean. That was long before he took PEDs.

Did we Thanos snap Roger Maris?

Barry should be in the hall of fame!

And only one of them did it without steroids!

Ohtani's gravity is not to be understated. People only look at his stats, they only look at that he's a DH. Think about how they pitch around him. If he's given a decent pitch, he's doing damage. So they don't pitch to him. They don't want to put base runners on ahead of him. The mental aspect.

Aaron's award was for "Most valuable to the Dodgers."

"This MLB News Break is brought to you buy Fan Duel..." smh

Boo.. stay in X. You’ve done your part to collapse #America…

He only won it because Ketel Marte got injured

bond's cheeted

Super Star

Winning MVP in both leagues is the kind of achievement that keeps feeling unreal, even after all the highlights. #MLB #Ohtani #Baseball

baseball is so sick I love historic feats

Ohtani carried and help the e dodgers make the postseason while they had injuries to almost the whole team.

He got them there

His MVP season helped carry them to October.

Any baseball record with Bonds should have an asterisk included.

And yet the sports writers continue to block Barry from the hall of fame with no proof of guilt. Kind of like Otani betting.

Barry Bonds*. Don't forget the giant asterisk.

How the hell you have 6.4K posts?!!!

I hope his recent surgery gets him back to the mound.

Like barry bonds roids played a roll.

Willing to bet he bet on himself to win the MVP this year and made out like a bandit.

With free agency the list is going to grow.

The Babe 2.0 Amazing old folks got to see 2 super humans play baseball in their life span.

Trump loves the vile dictator of North Korea. www.bbc.com/news/world-a...

Racist Trumpers will target him for deportation or harassment. MAGAs don't care about excellence and seeking the best. The New York Times happily, with vim and vigor, helped the utterly racist and despicable Trump. www.mediaite.com/news/cassidy...

Between 1939 and 1945, the Times published more than 23,000 front-page stories - a half of which were about World War II - and only 26 were about the Holocaust. You a holocaust denier nazi “ impressive”

And did they do testing in Mr. Bonds' year for anything that could have enhanced a performance?

America has screwed up priorities. People think THAT is more important than education.

shohei is so hot

Interesting...Does this mean that Ohtani is buffed up on steroids too? Just wondering...

Hope he can rehab and get back to his amazing self next season. Watching him struggle through the World Series was brutal. 😖

who is lying ..... you or the pic thingee you posted.

not impressive, like rest of them.

Best player of my lifetime. Hope to see him throwing again

As one'd expect.

He’s so incredible to watch.

Barry Bonds cheated. He should not be on any accomplishments list. Ever.

And both are cheaters.

Absolutely awesome season!!!!

Whatevs, he's fat

he should come to the Padres.

this dude is inhuman. least controversial MVP pick ever. absolute legend.

Great hitter, but for an MVP there has to be more. Show me his top defensive plays of the year. The Gambler isn't a legit MVP.

Bonds was juicing too.

Go Dodgers!

I was a hard-core Reds fan at the time and I recall Reds GM explaining that trade to the Os for 3 nobodies by saying“Frank’s an old 30”🤔
