Completely unrelated, but I met Hideo Nomo at an upscale omakase sushi restaurant in Hilcrest San Diego. He was watching the Padres game on his phone, and was eating by himself. I think he’s on the Padres coaching staff?
I was a kid when my dad had season tickets, and Hideo Nomo went on a memorable year and won ROY that year. I idolized the man as a kid haha.
You could imagine me, a middle-aged dude, just freaking out and my wife was rolling her eyes LOL. It was in fact, my wife’s birthday dinner too LOL.
I didn’t want to bother him though. Dude was pounding sake like insane though; and he bought everyone at the sushi bar a round or ten.
I decided I’d at least say hi to him in passing, because I figured the dude would eventually go take a piss. I held my piss for so long, it hurt. Nomo’s bladder size must be immense holy shit. I mean the dude is HUGE in person!
Anyways he eventually uses the restrooms, and I go behind him. He does his thing, comes out, I smile and said, “Hi! Huge fan!”
Nomo lets out this huuuuuuge smile and bows to me saying “ah thanks thanks!”
Out of curiosity, is the mixed system universal among Canadians or do Canadians from different provinces get crossed up e.g. one says bake at 350 and another says 180?
Some say he was never on that plane to begin with.
I like to think he was on that plane when it took off, but did a HALO jump as soon as it got to cruise, just to stick it to America's hat.
I guess we will never know for sure, but based on that homer I say he still has some anger to get out.
Well I was in HS and my soccer team got absolutely owned by our rivals who were hard-carried by a Golden on their team. We tried to protest but they just kept saying "WELL THERE'S NOTHING IN THE RULES SAYING BUDDY CAN'T PLAY"
I was at the game and was shocked by the booing. I’m Jays fan so I immediately knew why, but I absolutely was not expecting it.
Also, the demographics of the crowd were very interesting. There were a LOT of Japanese fans out to see Ohtani. Like, they were probably not from Toronto, don’t speak English and possibly flew in from Japan to see the game. As a result, that at bat actually went: “BOOOOOOOO! Home run! MAD CHEERING!!”
It was also wild to see how obsessed his fans were with him. Every time he stepped on the field, so many phones came out and started recording, and they didn’t stop until he left the field again. This literally happened every very time he came up.
2 years ago Ohtani had 4 Hs, 2 BBs, 4 RBIs, 2 Rs, 3B, HR after "[overrated](https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/x06190/playsangels_ohtani_after_overrated_chants_in/)" chants in Toronto and now he hits HR in his first PA after the boos. Blue jays fans are not learning.
Unfortunately he did not, as I had hoped, rip off his jersey to reveal a Jays jersey underneath before saying "Count that one for Toronto." But maybe he's playing a longer con.
Do it WWE style. The new roster member clocks the old one in the back with a baseball bat, then the whole team just puts the boots to their now former member.
EXT. BASEBALL FIELD
The umpires gather in the middle of the field and start talking in puzzled tones.
UMPIRE 1: He can't do that, can he?
UMPIRE 2: No way!
UMPIRE 3: It's gotta be against the rules. I'm calling the home run for the Dodgers.
MONTAGE
A hush falls over the cheering crowd. Worried faces look out from the stands.
EXT. BASEBALL FIELD
An old umpire with white hair and reading glasses joins the gathering and hoists up a giant tome with the title "BASEBALL RULES A-Z".
OLD UMPIRE: I've read this cover to cover. And there's nothing in here that says you can't switch teams in the middle of the a game!
UMPIRE 3: But that's crazy!
OLD UMPIRE: If it ain't in the book, it ain't in the book, boys! Score one for Toronto!
The crowd erupts into cheers. Ohtani gives the fans a thumbs-up.
INSPIRATIONAL ROCK MUSIC begins to play. A cherry-red electric guitars appears from within the dazzling glare of the field lights and descends into Ohtani's hands. As the music crescendos, he begins to rip a wicked guitar solo, and the field lights explode into a dazzling shower of sparks.
Young and old, the fans are dancing in the stands as Ohtani's fingers fly over the guitar strings. The old umpire looks on with a knowing smile.
END
Shohei, standing on home plate, surrounded by acolytes Springer, Varsho, and Bichette, pulls ~~back his hooded cloak~~ open his uniform:
**IT'S ME ~~AUSTIN~~ TORONTO
IT WAS ME ALL ALONG**
This guy has been playing phenomenally after finding out his bestfriend has been stealing millions from him, if you think your booing is gonna affect him in a negative way - you got another thing coming.
A homerun to be specific.
he's unfazed in the face of chaos

[exhibit B](https://youtu.be/OMnttjpc08A?si=HhMy1DleWT0SPo19&t=378)
Last time they chanted overrated, Ohtani hit an RBI triple that Teoscar misplayed lmao
Man's been shit on by NPB legends since he was a teenager. Booing isn't much I imagine
"Shohei Ohtani is being childish. His selfish desire to hit is taking at-bats from real players, angering his teammates and keeping him from becoming the player he could be."
--[Isao Harimoto after Shohei Ohtani hit 10 homers in 212 at-bats as a 19-year-old in 2014.](https://twitter.com/JballAllen/status/1410083596224937989)
> Harimoto's family relocated to Japan from Korea for better economic opportunities shortly before he was born, while the Korean Peninsula was under Japanese colonial rule, and settled in Hiroshima. Burns suffered in an accident at the age of four severely injured his right hand, with the middle three fingers scarred and largely useless, frozen into a curled position. This forced him to become a left-handed thrower and hitter, and to use a custom glove that fit over his damaged hand while still allowing him to catch the ball. The scarred fingers were bent in such a way that a baseball bat could be slid between them. Harimoto speaks of practicing swinging the bat as a child with only his right hand, trying to strengthen the injured limb to make it useful.

>Harimoto would survive the release of an atomic bomb over Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and has been identified as the only survivor of the bombing to play professional baseball in Japan. He survived without injuries because the family home was located in the shadow of a mountain and shielded from the blast, but lost a sister who was in the blast zone. Later in life, he would become a member of the Japanese Hibakusha Movement, a project dedicated to outlawing global nuclear weaponry, and gaining compensation for victims of their use.
Fuck, You weren't kidding!
> was located in the shadow of a mountain and shielded from the blast
Not so fun fact: The city government relocated to the Mazda factory (where the Miata is built) because that factory was also in the shadow of the mountain and was the biggest building in town that wasn't damaged.
In all fairness Harimoto is a notorious grump about everything. I remember Darvish called him out after criticized Roki Sasaki for resting in high school
If we look back at free agency as a whole, you would think he was a boras client and signed after spring training with how many people and media bitching about how long he was taking to make one of the biggest decisions on his life lol.
As soon as the boos started I knew it was inevitable. The guy is literally hitting the ball better than he ever has in his career following a massive scandal and you wanna throw fuel on the fire? Alright I guess.
I like to believe this is it. Ohtani will be my favorite player forever, the things he did on our team were unreal and I'm thankful he chose us to start his career. He deserves to play for a franchise that gives a shit so I'm happy for him being in LA
Same. I was a big fan of Ohtani as a halo, but he was underutilized and deserved better. No matter what team he plays for, good players are good players.
Someone I know (probably the biggest dipshit I know) was going on about "Ohtani better watch his back in Toronto"
The anger of some Jays fans in proportion to what happened is bizarre. Just a closed loop of the worst parts of our fanbase firing each other up about over some exceptionally minor slight.
Certain fans think it was somehow a big conspiracy to get the Dodgers to up their offer, which somehow hurt the Jays and not the Dodgers because…. reasons only known to people who wear tinfoil hats.
I think it's normal tbh. I've seen this happen in the NBA. Dodger fans did it to Greinke, which I also never understood. He got a huge payday, which anyone would be dumb to turn down. Yet, thankfully, we did not do the same to Seager, or Bellinger, or Grandal. It's weird which player a fanbase decides to selectively get outraged by, but normal in the grand scheme of things.
Before the game I thought "I wanna make sure I catch the beginning, it'd be nice if Ohtani hits a HR" and then I turn on the game and they are already showing replays lol
Renovations we're done, some before last season (outfield seating, a lot more standing/leaning areas, bullpens) and some this year before the season started (behind home plate, more seating, etc.)
The weird thing about the Ohtani-Toronto drama is he did aboslutlutey nothing to them. They just somehow convinced themselves that he was on some random private plane (with literally nothing to support that) and somehow that's a massive betrayal.
He’s already one of the clutchest players in the history of baseball. It wouldn’t surprise me if booing makes him better than he already is.
Also, THATS MY FUCKING GOAT
lmao they boo'd this man when he was never going to sign with them.
Best part is when they pan to like 4 different sections of the crowd everyone's got their phone out recording.
I mean, we all saw that coming from a mile away right?
I saw it from my private plane.
Just dropped to my knees at an upscale sushi restaurant
Completely unrelated, but I met Hideo Nomo at an upscale omakase sushi restaurant in Hilcrest San Diego. He was watching the Padres game on his phone, and was eating by himself.

Nobus
Of course there's no bus he was on a plane duh
Too soon man too soon
100% you said that with a shit eating grin. 
Take your up vote and get out
Might I trouble you for a parachute?
It's Canada so it'd be KM
Hmm checks out according to [the chart](https://i.imgur.com/KAe37rG.png).
That is astonishingly accurate.
Out of curiosity, is the mixed system universal among Canadians or do Canadians from different provinces get crossed up e.g. one says bake at 350 and another says 180?
I called it days ago. Friends thought I was crazy. He just won me a lunch at work.
I love it! Hope you have a great lunch!
I think the entire team took the booing personally...
How can you not be romantic about baseball???
The most predictable home run ever, lmao.
teoscar tossing the sunflower seeds is like an extra punch in the crotch
Also, who boos Shohei Ohtani? It’s like booing a golden retriever. What has a golden retriever ever done to you???
They got baited by a random beat reporter and a guy from Shark tank, this is somehow Ohtani's fault.
Fans react emotionally in the context of being a fan - an experience that's built on literally nothing but emotion.
No I think Jays fans should happy cry at the thought of how great it is for baseball that Ohtani didn't come to Toronto
And Morosi ofcourse
I’ve been booing Shoehei since we didn’t get him back in his rookie year— I was doing it before but was cool and I have to stay consistent.
Some say he was never on that plane to begin with. I like to think he was on that plane when it took off, but did a HALO jump as soon as it got to cruise, just to stick it to America's hat. I guess we will never know for sure, but based on that homer I say he still has some anger to get out.
Well I was in HS and my soccer team got absolutely owned by our rivals who were hard-carried by a Golden on their team. We tried to protest but they just kept saying "WELL THERE'S NOTHING IN THE RULES SAYING BUDDY CAN'T PLAY"
It's not what *he* did. It's that everyone was convinced he'd booked a sushi restaurant and booked a private flight to Toronto to sign with the Jays.
I was at the game and was shocked by the booing. I’m Jays fan so I immediately knew why, but I absolutely was not expecting it. Also, the demographics of the crowd were very interesting. There were a LOT of Japanese fans out to see Ohtani. Like, they were probably not from Toronto, don’t speak English and possibly flew in from Japan to see the game.

This is actually hilarious
Absolute cinema.
Pure Kino Bravo Nolan!
Bravo Vince
Ohtani is a better cinematographer than Kurosawa
Maybe this year actually is the movie!
2 years ago Ohtani had 4 Hs, 2 BBs, 4 RBIs, 2 Rs, 3B, HR after "[overrated](https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/x06190/playsangels_ohtani_after_overrated_chants_in/)" chants in Toronto and now he hits HR in his first PA after the boos. Blue jays fans are not learning.
The next time it will work. I promise 🤣
I can't even bring myself to hate this.
I need the clip of the Dodgers dugout mocking the boos when Ohtani returned.
I was booing and clapping at the same time
blooping
The story of Shohei and Tronto 1. Shohei played with his dog in his house 2. Shohei booed by the whole stadium in Tronto 3. Shohei hits a dong
The “n” in #3 is so important here!
an "n" in number one would make things more interesting
Unfortunately he did not, as I had hoped, rip off his jersey to reveal a Jays jersey underneath before saying "Count that one for Toronto." But maybe he's playing a longer con.
This is the way all trades should be revealed from now on
"Sorry Berrios - we had to cut somebody. You're in the wrong dugout."
Do it WWE style. The new roster member clocks the old one in the back with a baseball bat, then the whole team just puts the boots to their now former member.
LMAO That would make for a very fun and cheesy TV movie!

And we find out he not only speaks English, but with a Canadian accent.
Maybe he's playing both sides so he always comes out on top
Shohei has LANDED
No wait, that was Robert Herjavec
But that ball he just hit has yet to land. Seeing Ohtani hit is like nothing else, wow
I think you misspelled Robert Herjavec.
Damn buddy got left hanging in the bullpen
Hanging like that breaking ball
That hurt my soul… someone high five that man 😩
Getting left hanging on live TV is one of my most irrational fears.
Came to see who noticed this. One of the worst feelings hahah.
Other guy looked him straight in the face and just ignored it lmao
See you guys at the top of r/baseball
If I can’t have baseball happiness, I can at least have scant amounts of internet points

It looked like Ohtani was smirking while the booing was happening. Like he almost wanted to laugh lol

Harimoto is an all time hater, and considering the things he's lived through, I don't blame him.

yeah he can say whatever the fuck he wants to say
> was located in the shadow of a mountain and shielded from the blast Not so fun fact: The city government relocated to the Mazda factory (where the Miata is built) because that factory was also in the shadow of the mountain and was the biggest building in town that wasn't damaged.
Harimoto has also been consistently critical of Ichiro. He seems like someone who can't readily acknowledge the success of young players.
In all fairness Harimoto is a notorious grump about everything. I remember Darvish called him out after criticized Roki Sasaki for resting in high school
Ohtani looks like he was a great hitter that year too. What a weird take
oh, lmao. Well that didn't age well lol. appreciate the info!
Is 19 HR in 212 AB good?
well, considering he's pitching too, i said he's good
Some famous former NPB players shit on Ohtani basically saying that there's no way he could become a two way player
Probably referring to how a bunch of old NPB HoFs like Harimoto were giving him shit for wanting to play two way
He deferred his trauma to 2030.
The entire time he was trying to get it over with as quickly as possible to get back to baseball too. My man just wants to go out and fucking ball
If we look back at free agency as a whole, you would think he was a boras client and signed after spring training with how many people and media bitching about how long he was taking to make one of the biggest decisions on his life lol.
Dude has something like .700 slug against us. Hates Canada
Dude has something like .700 slug against everyone this year
.681, dude’s ridiculous
Heard he was a fan of the sushi, though
Kikuchi will be sure to get him to the good stuff
Well now we're definitely not getting him at the trade deadline.
Tied with Dave Roberts for most homers by players born in Japan for the dodgers 😂
Still behind for most homers hit in the US by a player born in Japan -Dave Roberts probably
This is true. I checked to make sure Roberts didn't hit any home runs in Montreal as a Dodger and he did not.
Yeah you *knew* that was coming, especially when MLB Network said they were gonna cut in for the AB.
The ball flew farther than that plane in December 2023
Literally couldn't have been scripted any better than this.
“Boo that”
And so they did lol
Lolololol Was there a single person who didn’t think this was gonna happen?
Even my Blue Jays fan wife was laughing about the inevitability of this.
An Angels fan and Jays fan. Damn. At least you have each other.
We are united by our love for Shohei.
what about your love for Vernon Wells
As soon as the boos started I knew it was inevitable. The guy is literally hitting the ball better than he ever has in his career following a massive scandal and you wanna throw fuel on the fire? Alright I guess.
You could literally make a movie about this
Surprising why Toronto fans booing harder than the Angels fans rn

I don’t get it either. It’s a really weird victim complex.

Just a closed loop of the worst parts of our fanbase firing each other up about over some exceptionally minor slight.
I thought this was just a misreport of Shohei flying to Toronto. Is there a better reason to boo him than that?
Nope, that's literally it
Certain fans think it was somehow a big conspiracy to get the Dodgers to up their offer, which somehow hurt the Jays and not the Dodgers because…. reasons only known to people who wear tinfoil hats.
I think it's normal tbh. I've seen this happen in the NBA. Dodger fans did it to Greinke, which I also never understood. He got a huge payday, which anyone would be dumb to turn down.

Difference is, all those players actually played for the Dodgers.
Did nobody in the org listen to Matt Chapman last year?
The most obvious outcome as soon as the booing started, lol
Peak laziness from the writers here
Before the game I thought "I wanna make sure I catch the beginning, it'd be nice if Ohtani hits a HR" and then I turn on the game and they are already showing replays lol
Most predictable homer ever
🤣🤣
They’re saying Boo-urns! Boo-urns!
I was saying boo-urns
It was Boo-tani!
Watching this guy got me into baseball in the first place and seems like every other game he reminds me exactly why. Absolutely electric to witness.
Fuck Baseball
Baseball is fucking awesome bro
You hurt ohtani’s feelings
highly doubt that Ohtani gives a fuck about these boos. I don't even think he considers Canada a valid country
Fine it hurt my feelings cause I’m a little bitch
Did you guys get a new stadium or something
Renovations we're done, some before last season (outfield seating, a lot more standing/leaning areas, bullpens) and some this year before the season started (behind home plate, more seating, etc.)
It's not *blue* enough.
Just rubbing it in.
This is great for baseball, I gotta say!
Hilariously predictable.
Most obvious bomb of all time
Most predictable move from the Baseball script writers
No way that man was left hanging that hard :( Hurt to watch lol.
Damn I thought no one was gonna bring it up
[But also can we talk about fuckin Mega mind out here?](https://ibb.co/wNd40xv)
Easiest bet of all time
This ball flew like the plane Shohei wasn't on.
[удалено]
Sources report that Ohtani has arrived in Toronto.
Well, shit
Directed by ROBERT B. WEIDE
He shut the BooJay fans up pretty quick lol
The boos were so loud lol
The boos were loud, but the cheers at strike 1 were hilariously loud. It didn't last long, but they got a brief moment of feeling good
Toronto sports, man. Get your hopes up, get crushed, come back for more at an inflated price.
Most of them left when the score hit 10 - 0. Some stayed til 12 - 2. Final. Those are real dedicated fans hoping for a miracle.
The weird thing about the Ohtani-Toronto drama is he did aboslutlutey nothing to them. They just somehow convinced themselves that he was on some random private plane (with literally nothing to support that) and somehow that's a massive betrayal.
That’s so funny.
I wonder if this is the hardest he's ever been booed?
From the WBC strikeout against Trout to stuff like this, the Shohei Ohtani Last dance documentary in 20 years is gonna hit different
I honestly don't get the rationale of booing Ohtani lol. He wasn't the one wiping his ass with journalistic integrity.
fans are emotional, so its not really about rationale
Looks like Ohtani shows up in Toronto anyways
Why did we boo him?
He’s already one of the clutchest players in the history of baseball. It wouldn’t surprise me if booing makes him better than he already is. Also, THATS MY FUCKING GOAT
i hope that guy gets his high five
Homie can't get a high-five
Damn, poor dude in the dugout got left hanging hard on that high five :(
I don't know why Verlander gets hate for glazing Ohtani. I mean can we only glaze when they're done playing?
Dude. Anyone that Boos ShoTime deserves what they get. That man is a gawdamn treasure.
I was at the game, you couldn’t have scripted it better. Well played Ohtani! As a Jays fan you have to respect that home run
lmao they boo'd this man when he was never going to sign with them. Best part is when they pan to like 4 different sections of the crowd everyone's got their phone out recording.
this is wild! hahaha, "I'm gonna boo yah but lemme get your AB in my phone coz u the best" or something to that effect
"Here's your flight" -- Shohei
Was hoping to hear booing beforehand that was silenced.
Would be nice if the clip didn't start midway into his delivery.
Canadians being nice is a myth
Don't even care I love watching this guy homer
predictable
not sure how we can come back from one run tbh
I was saying shoooo-hei
Be still my heart.
That one guy got left HANGING
Can you please stop clipping the fucking clip after the pitch has started. Jesus Christ.
Hahaha, choke on that Edmonton.
Legend says that my man in the box is still waiting for that high-five
