"Each Dodgers player found a gift bag in his locker when they arrived at the stadium for Thursday's opener. Inside was a high-end Seiko watch. Outside was a tag which read, 'Happy Opening Day!! Three-Peat!! - Shohei Ohtani.'"
"Shohei has been really kind using his platform to help his teammates. I know that watch, we're going to keep it forever and we're going to remember the best player in the world gave us a watch for Opening Day in 2026."
"The Seiko watch gifted to the players featured a smoky blue dial with a silver bracelet and a chronograph. Ohtani has now given gifts to his teammates on Opening Day each year he's been with the Dodgers."
"The day after receiving their new watches, many of the Dodgers players also added a World Series ring to their jewelry box as the club held its championship ring ceremony."
As the Dodgers began their season, Shohei Ohtani surprised each player with a high-end Seiko watch, accompanied by a note celebrating the new season. The coaching staff also received watches. Manager Dave Roberts gifted players a bottle of Traveller Whiskey. Ohtani has a history of gifting teammates on Opening Day, having given headphones the previous year. The day after receiving the watches, players celebrated with a championship ring ceremony, showcasing their nine World Series titles and featuring dirt from Game 7 of the World Series.
