While Ohtani continues to break records never imagined before, including becoming the first player to record 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season, the comparisons never stop. One of the easiest? Babe Ruth, one of the few players to both pitch and hit, as Ohtani does.

A collector has pulled the ultra-rare Shohei Ohtani "World Tour Domination" Tokyo Series 1/1 card just as Ohtani prepares for the MLB Tokyo Series. With massive global appeal, this card is set to become a grail-level chase in the hobby.

The Dodgers were playing the San Diego Padres in Seoul, South Korea, last March when a bombshell was revealed: Ohtani's interpreter and close friend Ippei Mizuhara was being criminally investigated for ties to an illegal gambling ring and had stolen a huge amount of money from the baseball star.
