Major League Baseball is encouraging its players to show more personality on the field, but a recent incident involving Shohei Ohtani has sparked controversy. During a game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies, Ohtani stole second base and then made a questionable gesture that appeared to be lewd. While some viewers interpreted it as Ohtani shaking dirt off his glove, others saw it differently, leading to a social media frenzy.
Despite the clear footage of the incident during the broadcast, ESPN chose not to address it, but that didn't stop fans and media outlets from discussing it. The clip was widely shared online, with reactions ranging from jokes to criticism, including a strong statement from former MVP Jose Canseco.
