SEATTLE — Everyone here has been talking about Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani—by how much will he clear half a billion dollars when he becomes a free agent after the season, is he a better pitcher or a hitter, is there anyone more talented on earth—and frankly, enough is enough.
Sure, Ohtani is probably the best baseball player in the history of the sport. Just about every night, he does something we have never seen before and may never see again. He’s a miracle. We are lucky to be alive while he is.
But he’s not the only dual threat, and it’s time his peers got some recognition. They are all good at baseball—they’re All-Stars, after all—and many of them are good at other things, too.
