"No sooner had the Toronto Blue Jays clinched a World Series spot against the Dodgers than the torrent of memes, posts and tweets flowed, all with some version of this one-liner: Finally, Shohei Ohtani is on the plane to Toronto."
"On a December day two years ago, as Ohtani navigated free agency: three reports surfaced: there was a private plane flying from Orange County to Toronto (true); Ohtani had decided to sign with the Blue Jays (false); and Ohtani was on a flight to Toronto (false)."
""It is my only claim to fame in the sports world: to be mistaken for someone else," Herjavec said Tuesday."
""I'm very disappointed," Herjavec said with a laugh, "he hasn't reached out to me for financial advice.""
Two years ago a private jet landing in Toronto was mistaken for a flight carrying Shohei Ohtani, sparking national disappointment when Robert Herjavec was the passenger. Herjavec, a "Shark Tank" star and Canadian businessman with homes in Toronto and Southern California, describes the incident as his only sports-world claim to fame. With the Blue Jays facing Ohtani's Dodgers in the World Series, Herjavec plans to attend games in Los Angeles and Toronto and hopes his visible support will redeem him to Canadians. He expressed amusement that Ohtani has not sought his financial advice and marveled at Ohtani's extraordinary athletic talents.
