The Los Angeles Rams had the Dodgers’ new superstar Shohei Ohtani in the building for their game against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night, treating him to a victory at SoFi Stadium. They had him on the field before kickoff and gave him a custom Rams jersey before showing him on the Infinity Screen, which elicited a massive cheer from the crowd.
There were reports that coveted Japanese star Yoshinobu Yamamoto would be in attendance with Ohtani, but he wasn’t there to see the Rams win. His name was everywhere on the internet shortly after the Rams took down the Saints, though.
That’s because the Dodgers landed the outstanding pitcher with a $325 million contract, adding to their superteam in L.A. The Rams were ready with a jersey for Yamamoto, showing it off on social media after the game.

It would’ve been awesome if Yamamoto was in the stands with Ohtani when the signing was announced, but it was great to have one Dodgers superstar in the building.

The Dodgers are the favorite to win the World Series next season after the moves they’ve made this winter, with the latest being the addition of Yamamoto.
