Shohei Ohtani has selected the L.A. Dodgers as his new baseball team. It comes at a hefty $700 mil. price tag for the Dodgers. As a San Francisco Giants fan, I look forward to seeing the phenom go up against my team. The best west coast rivalry in baseball just got an injection of 'must watch' entertainment.
As for the strength of the two ballclubs, Ohtani is a Goliath joining an organization that's made the playoffs eleven straight years, winning one of three world series. Meanwhile, my Giants have been more like David with a slingshot, making the playoffs three times in that same eleven-year period and winning one world series.
But I must admit, with Ohtani joining the already stacked Los Angeles Philistines line-up:
