For you sports fans who watch this podcast and who just love competition and greatness regardless of the sport but aren't big Baseball fans .. i'm telling you just stay tuned in and keep watch, the kid Shohei Ohtani is doing historic things currently. Not to mention from his looks, to how he moves and acts like a greek god.. he is like a character created in a cartoon.. Oh and he isn't American or from the DR which 90% of greats seem to be.. dude is Japanese. no exaggeration with any of that either, it's an anomaly. So if you just love watching young greatness develop, when you wake up just search what he did the night before .. might have had an off night, who knows but all in all he is pimping out in one of the hardest sports to be great in... and he is young.

[@ando2821]

Babe Ruth played and pitched against coal miners and mailmen. Ohtani is throwing 100 against players who have been playing year round since childhood, being scouted since teenagers.. facing the best competition that’s ever existed on earth. It’s fuckin stupid to compare these guys from such different times. I guarantee Babe Ruth threw about 76 mph, and had he played nowadays would get absolutely ROCKED. Ohtani still has a ways to go to prove his pitching, but stop comparing him to Babe Ruth..shits ridiculous. Ohtani would strike out Babe Ruth 8/10 times and bat about 600 off him

Jeff Passan really could not have made a much better comparison for football. I can see Justin Herbert being his pitcher comparison as he is still developing, but is already doing great.

Babe Ruth is this mythical figure that's untouchable but baseball wasn't quite a global sport back then and the competition wasn't as fierce.
