'I was waiting for this day': Japanese fans react as Shohei Ohtani makes baseball history – video

Fans in Tokyo react after the baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani made history as the first Major League Baseball player to exceed 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season. The Japanese player led the LA Dodgers to a victory over the Miami Marlins, hitting three home runs and stealing two bases to land the historic achievement. Already regarded as the best player in baseball whose accomplishments as a pitcher and batter outpaced even Babe Ruth, Ohtani reached new heights as an offensive player while taking the year off from pitching. The 27-year-old signed a $700m, 10-year deal with the Dodgers last December, one of the largest contracts in professional sports.
