Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts gifted Shohei Ohtani’s baby girl a new set of wheels.
Right before the boys in blue hosted the New York Mets, Roberts presented Ohtani with a remote-controlled pink Porsche.
“That was a present from me and my wife to Shohei’s baby,” Roberts said. “We have a little running practical joke situation going on, but this was a gift for the baby.”
In April, Shohei and his wife, Mamiko, welcomed their daughter.
The gift is part of a running joke between the two, which stems from when Ohtani broke Roberts’ franchise record last May. Shotime promised the team’s manager a new car for the history-making feat. However, he pranked him by gifting him a toy Porsche instead.
Keep in mind, Ohtani does give out real cars.
Back in 2023, he gifted Joe Kelly’s wife, Ashley, a real Porsche for her role in lobbying for him to come to the team. She started the “#Ohtake17” campaign, which referred to Kelly’s jersey number he wore during his time in L.A. Ashley said that Ohtani could have the number if he signed with the Dodgers.
