I have never seen a ballplayer like Ohtani, and I say my first game in 1954. Back in the 1950s, Shirley Povich used to write about Bab Ruth, and Hank Thomas tells us that his grandfather, Walter Johnson, was a good hitter in his late-30s when he decided to practice. (Johnson was is the all-time BA leader among starting pitcher, having hit over .430 in 1925. Johnson, also, was one of the few right-handed hitters to hit a home run over the right-center wall at Griffith Stadium...a distance of 438 feet to the base of that 30 or 40-fot wall)
But to see it now...100 years after Ruth switched to the OF!
What team has so many prospects that would be worth a trade for Ohtani?
(Yes, I know that Ohtani is a rental...)
