It all started with a tweet. Two of them, actually. On Dec. 8 last year, during a Friday afternoon in the thick of MLB's offseason, Toronto-based freelance photographer - and proud Blue Jays fan - Carlos Osorio was scrolling through X (formerly Twitter) when he saw a flurry of social media speculation centered on Shohei Ohtani.
With his curiosity piqued, and his Blue Jays fandom buzzing, Osorio decided to jump into action. He emailed his editor with Reuters, offering to drive to Toronto Pearson Airport to capture Ohtani's supposed arrival.
"Oh my god, here we go," Osorio thought to himself as he followed the plane's taxi to a hanger tarmac. "We're gonna have the first pictures of Ohtani." When the door opened, however, it was Canadian businessman and television celebrity Robert Herjavec who descended the steps.
