Shohei Ohtani showcased his sense of humor after breaking Hideki Matsui's home run record, as he made an amusing quip about Dodgers manager Dave Roberts following Los Angeles's 10-0 win over the Mets on Sunday.
former New York Yankees slugger Hideki Matsui's record for the most career home runs hit by a Japanese-born player in MLB history, is aiming for now.
What's the significance of seven home runs, you ask? It's the number of dingers that Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who was born in Japan, hit during his three seasons as a player with Los Angeles. Speaking through an interpreter after the Dodgers' win, a smiling Ohtani quipped that he wants to"break my manager's record."
Shohei Ohtani wants to match what Hideki Matsui does in the postseason but not before surpassing Dave Roberts Dodgers homerun record 😂Perhaps that explains this amusing interaction between Ohtani and Roberts in the Dodgers dugout immediately after the record-setting home run.Ohtani already has five home runs and ranks third in MLB in slugging percentage.
Ohtani will continue the Roberts chase when the Dodgers take on the Washington Nationals in a three-game series beginning on Tuesday.
