Ohtani signing captivates sports world on social media
Ohtani signing captivates sports world on social media
December 10th, 2023
Jeff Gold
Sports stars -- they're just like us.
The baseball world and, in fact, the entire sports world has been captivated by Shohei Ohtani’s free-agent pursuit.
Dodgers part owner and Los Angeles sports legend Magic Johnson was thrilled with Ohtani's decision to come on board.
A big thank you to Shohei for deciding to wear Dodger blue! I know all Dodger fans around the world are extremely happy and excited that you decided to join our organization and we welcome you to Dodger nation! @Dodgers
