Toronto fans witnessed baseball history last night — and not in a good way.
Shohei Ohtani, the $700 million megastar of the Los Angeles Dodgers, unleashed pure destruction in Game 3 of the World Series. In his first four at-bats, he went nuclear: two doubles and two home runs — single-handedly tearing through the Blue Jays’ pitching rotation.
And then… the unthinkable happened.
For the rest of the game, Toronto refused to pitch to him. Four straight intentional walks. That’s right — every time Ohtani stepped up to the plate, the Jays’ dugout simply waved him to first base.
This wasn’t just strategy — it was surrender. 💀
No player in World Series history has ever been intentionally walked four times in one game. Fans erupted across social media, accusing Toronto of “ducking greatness” and turning the championship into a “fear fest.”
“They didn’t just walk him,” one fan wrote on X. “They ran from him.”
Even Ohtani looked stunned. Cameras caught him on the bench, expression blank, whispering to a teammate: “So… they’re scared now?”
Analysts are torn. Some call it a smart move to avoid further damage. Others say it’s the most embarrassing defensive tactic in modern baseball.
One thing’s for sure — Shohei Ohtani has reached a level of dominance where opponents would rather lose their pride than face him.
And in the World Series spotlight, that says everything. 🌟
