Walking up a stairway on the backside of the outfield pavilion, Shohei Ohtani was accompanied by his interpreter, a couple of Dodgers public relations officials, two police officers and seven security guards. The sight of Ohtani caused a commotion in the nearby concourse, screams erupting from the mass of humanity pressed against a chain of metal security barriers. Admirers in blue hooded sweatshirts and white replica jerseys pointed their camera phones in Ohtani's direction, chanting in unison, 'Sho-hei! Sho-hei!'
'Look at the excitement around,' Freeman said. 'I think the people, the whole vibe, everyone just wants to see him. I don't think it's been like this before.'
