Every era of baseball brings something or someone new to the diamond. The last century saw the rise of MLB greats like Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and Jackie Robinson, among many, many others. This century has seen the likes of Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez gain legendary status. And currently, baseball fans are witnessing history being made with names like Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani. The Japanese phenomenon, in particular, has taken residence in fans’ hearts and refuses to leave. And one of the reasons has to do with Earth Day.

The two-way sensation is breaking records left and right, and in a way, redefining baseball at its core. An icon in the making, MLB will never forget him. And neither will planet Earth.

At any LA Angels game, it’s always easy to spot Ohtani picking up random bits and pieces of trash. In fact, MLB made a montage of it and fans are loving it.
