FOCO is selling new Shohei Ohtani bobbleheads that commemorate his four career MVP Awards and back-to-back World Series titles with the Los Angeles Dodgers. One of the Ohtani MVP bobbleheads portrays him in a white Dodgers uniform and holding four MVP plaques. He's won them equally with the Los Angeles Angels and Dodgers, each time in unanimous fashion, to make MLB history.

The Hank Aaron Award is MLB's annual honor that recognizes the most outstanding regular season offensive performer in each league. A committee of MLB.com journalists reviewed the top offensive statistics, accomplishments and performances from the regular season to determine 10 finalists in each league. MLB legends and past recipients of the award comprised a renowned panel that cast votes for their choices for the honor. Fans also were part of determining the winners by casting votes.

Another Friday, another quick one. Shohei Ohtani has won three MVP awards. I think they've all been unanimous. Barry Bonds ended up with seven MVP awards. Ohtani has three but has already crossed the threshold of 30. Then again, the stuff he does doesn't quite rely on age as much as another position. Still, do you think he'll beat Bonds' tally? Or fall short? He needs to win next year to tie Bonds' also-record of four in a row, too.

Shohei Ohtani has his fourth MVP award. As expected, the two-way superstar repeated as NL MVP and has now won the award twice in each league. He's the second player in MLB history to win a fourth MVP. Barry Bonds won the award seven times. Until tonight, he'd been the only player to earn that title more than three times. Ohtani won the award unanimously for the third consecutive season and has gotten all 30 first-place votes in all four of his wins.

For him to express the kind of praise that he gave Dodgers' ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto, even a casual baseball fan will know how much weight it carries. After Yamamoto pitched on zero days' rest in Game 7 of the World Series to close out the final 2.2 innings and capture a championship for his team, Ohtani was stunned, to say the least. "I have no idea how he pulled it off," Ohtani said through interpreter Will Ireton. "I really believe he is the No. 1 pitcher in the whole world."

Baseball, perhaps more than any other sport, competes with its own deep mythology. So many of its highlights are in black and white, and so many of its GOATs are ghosts, that the former national pastime is easily dismissed as past its prime. It isn't. The 2025 postseason, which ended when the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Toronto Blue Jays in the 11th inning of the seventh game of an ulcer-inducing World Series, stands with any in baseball history.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have forever immortalized Shohei Ohtani's 469-foot home run from the 2025 National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Dodgers have officially hung up a plaque at Dodger Stadium for his home run, as they do for all home runs hit out of Dodger Stadium. Ohtani's out of the park home run was part of his legendary NLCS Game 4 performance in which he pitched six shutout innings while also going 3-for-3 with three home runs.

Shohei Ohtani is slated to start Game 7 on the mound tonight. The two-way star will be pitching on three days' rest after tossing six innings in Game 4 on Tuesday. Manager Dave Roberts told reporters, including Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register, that he's " not sure" how long Ohtani will pitch. Roberts added that he wants to " withhold expectations and kind of read and react."

Shohei Ohtani had a historic game in what ended up being a legendary Game 3 of the 2025 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers ultimately prevailed with a 6-5 victory thanks to a walk-off homer by Freddie Freeman in the 18th inning, but not after multiple heroic performances from the pitching staff, most notably Will Klein.

A sweeper is a pitch designed to generate popups...and the swing that Vlad put on it was elite. After last night [Game 3] and kind of all the recognition that went into Shohei individually and he's on the mound today, it's a huge swing from Vlad. It's a huge swing to get us going. I think that gives [us] some momentum.
