Shohei Ohtani's offseason took an unexpected turn due to wildfires in Los Angeles, which forced him and his family to evacuate for nearly two weeks. During an event at Dodger Stadium, he expressed deep concern for the affected areas, detailing the personal impact of witnessing destruction nearby. Ohtani not only thanked firefighters for their service but also pledged $500,000 towards wildfire relief efforts, aiming to assist both heroes and animals impacted by the crisis. His outreach demonstrated solidarity with the community during this challenging time.
I just really felt my heart sink when I witnessed the areas and houses that burned down. I had the chance to talk to firefighters and found out that a lot of them didn't have the chance to go back home.
I want to just say thank you for your dedication. Thank you for your hard work. We appreciate it.
