Ohtani's dinger was the first MLB playoff at-bat that I ever witnessed live, and I did so as a fan of the Mets. This was unfortunate, because Game 4 was a bad night for them.
But when the place was still packed, Ohtani swung at the second pitch he saw and blasted a ball all the way to the bullpens in right center.
I was stunned, annoyed, and embarrassed that I had to be mad about such a beautiful act.
In the delirious cold of their Queens ballpark, New York fell 10-2 to go into a 3-1 series hole.
