LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dave Roberts recently joked that Shohei Ohtani should gift Roberts a Porsche when Ohtani breaks his Dodgers’ record for most home runs by a Japanese-born player.
Ohtani obliged, just maybe not in the way Roberts imagined.
Before Friday’s game against the Atlanta Braves, the Dodgers’ slugger gifted Roberts a purple toy model Porsche in his office. Roberts said the car is sitting on his desk.
Ohtani hit his eighth home run, and surpassed Roberts’ mark, with a solo shot to right-center during the third inning of Saturday’s game.
“He did buy me a car. I guess I didn’t specify what type of car,” Roberts said before Saturday’s game “So I can’t say he never gave me anything.”
Ohtani gifted Ashley Kelly, the wife of Joe Kelly, a Porsche for Kelly giving up No. 17 when Ohtani signed with the Dodgers last December. Kelly’s wife took to social media while Ohtani was weighing his free agency decision promising him that he could have the number and all the gear associated with it.
