While the Blue Jays are getting ready to take on Blake Snell on the mound, the Blue Jays fans are getting ready with their voices. The fans have their eyes set on one player, and that is Shohei Ohtani. Everything that has transpired over the past 2 seasons adds up to this. Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers versus the Toronto Blue Jays and their fans.

We all know that there are going to be ‘boos’ when any Dodgers batter comes up to bat, but for Shohei Ohtani, it might be a bit louder. And when asked about this in an interview, Ohtani said, “Last time I did get booed. So I expect that to happen. But I’m going to use that as my motivation.” And the last time Toronto tried to boo Shohei Ohtani, it didn’t end well.
The last time Shohei Ohtani walked into Rogers Centre, the boos came fast and loud. Toronto fans, still nursing wounds from his free agency decision, let him know it. On the third pitch he saw from Chris Bassitt, Ohtani crushed a solo homer into the visitors’ bullpen. The Dodgers won 12–2 that night, and Ohtani walked away smiling, saying he respected the fans’ passion.

That moment summed up his history against Toronto, a team he’s quietly owned with grace. In 33 career games, Ohtani has hit .314 with 38 hits, 11 home runs, and 27 RBIs. Yet beneath the noise, a strange warmth remains between him and the Blue Jays. John Schneider still jokes about Ohtani keeping the Jays cap, and Ohtani keeps calling Toronto “a really great organization.”
“It’s in my garage.” 😅

So when Ohtani steps in tonight, Rogers Centre might shake louder than before. But if history repeats, the boos may only serve as background music to greatness. Against Toronto, Shohei Ohtani doesn’t just play baseball; he rewrites the crowd’s script.

The World Series is yet to start, and Shohei Ohtani is already getting MVP shouts
In a season where baseball heroes are measured in increments of hype and stat lines, one man is quietly rewriting the rulebook. Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ two-way phenomenon, is doing things that make coaches, commentators, and casual fans question the very laws of the game. Pitching, hitting, striking out, and launching homers like it’s a casual warm-up, Ohtani isn’t just playing; he’s redefining what anyone thought was possible.
Colorado coach Deion Sanders praised Shohei Ohtani’s performance, calling it “unreal” and “unfathomable.” Ohtani dominated Saturday’s game with six scoreless innings, three home runs, and ten strikeouts. Sanders even joked, asking if the MVP could be handed out during the game itself.

Ohtani’s dual dominance on the mound and at the plate makes him a legitimate MVP contender. Fans felt electricity as he struck out Brewers’ hitters while crushing home runs effortlessly. Sanders hopes this achievement inspires flexibility in sports, saying, “Because they put players in a pocket and say, ‘You just need to do that.’”
Shohei Ohtani’s performance forces everyone to rethink what excellence in baseball truly represents today. Fans and analysts alike watch, wondering if the MVP race is already decided before the World Series. Even Deion Sanders admits this level of talent breaks the rules, yet somehow, it works flawlessly.
