This is the 11th time in total that we have won this award, making us the most awarded by any Japanese person.

In fact, famous scenes of 54 home runs and 59 stolen bases are being shown for a limited time in various areas of Tokyo.
People in the town who saw the Otani panel said things like, “It’s amazing, after all. It’s cool,” and “The 50-50 home run left an impression on me.”
Looking ahead to the playoffs, Otani said, “(From now on) the results and numbers that we have accumulated during the season will have no meaning.I want to stay motivated and spend the days in between (before the playoffs).” Ta.
The Dodgers’ first game is on the 6th, Japan time.
If the San Diego Padres win, there may be a showdown with Japanese pitchers such as Yu Darvish.
