Longtime MLB announcer Bob Costas believes that baseball’s do-everything star Shohei Ohtani made the right decision in picking the Dodgers in free agency.
In fact, Costas believes that Ohtani can make a Michael Jordan-like impact on the sport in Los Angeles.
“If you’re talking about baseball overall, and Ohtani at this point is about as close to what Michael Jordan was,” Costas said. “… Michael Jordan was an asset to the entire NBA, not just to the Chicago Bulls. So if you’re trying to maximize that asset—public fascination—where even casual fans want to tune in for it, you want to maximize that? The Dodgers are a better place for that than Toronto.
