On Sunday, the Los Angeles Dodgers had an eventful day on the field. MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani hit his 176th career home run, becoming the Japanese-born player with the most homers in MLB history, surpassing Hideki Matsui. Additionally, rookie Andy Pages also homered for the first time in his career.
While Pages received his first career home run ball, the fan who caught Ohtani’s historic home run decided to keep the ball, which was authenticated by MLB. This makes it a valuable collector’s item. On the other hand, Pages was able to retrieve his ball and will treasure it as a reminder of his hard work and dedication to the game.
Pages is expected to continue receiving playing time with the Dodgers until Jason Heyward returns from injury. With a strong track record in the minor leagues and a solid performance in his first few MLB games, Pages has a bright future ahead of him.
The sky’s the limit for this promising young player.
