The relevance of Shohei Ohtani in Major League Baseball is undeniable, and his dominance of the game makes fans delighted with his presence in what is considered the best baseball on the planet, that of MLB’s ‘Big Top’.
The Japanese sensation has broken all records and established a hegemony that will be difficult to break for many years, and proof of this is also the sensation it represents in marketing terms, as everything to do with him, whether it’s a bobblehead, a product he advertises or any piece of memorabilia acquires value, especially if it’s accompanied by some milestone achieved on the field.
Tragedy in Santo Domingo! Nightclub roof collapses during concert
This is the case of a jersey that the Japanese baseball player wore with theLos Angeles Dodgers last season, on April 26, 2024 in the visit of the Dodgers to Toronto’s Rogers Centre in a game against the Blue Jays, in which he set the record for most home runs by a Japanese player on the team.
Why did the T-shirt reach that price?
Japanese site Biz.chosun.com reported that the jersey Ohtani wore that day and gave away and autographed to a fan was put up for sale at the Japanese collectible card specialty mall Mint Daimaru for 100 million yen, the equivalent of $700,000!
The gray garment, which instead of the word ‘Dodgers’ had the words ‘Los Angeles’ on the front, incorporates on the number on the back the inscriptions in white ink of Shohei Ohtani’s signature in Japanese and the initials HR#7, which represent the seventh home run that the player hit that day with the Los Angeles team.
An excessive price?
Of course, no one denies that this is a historic jersey, but the Japanese player’s achievements with the Dodgers accumulated after that day, and some of much greater importance, so for that very reason it is considered that the value of this piece is disproportionate, since there is a risk that idolatry will enter the equation and anything that Ohtani has touched will be sold in stratospheric amounts, just like this jersey.

Dynasty superflex rookie rankings: Ashton Jeanty holds the No. 1 spot but other rookies are rising fast
In the redraft world, there has been plenty of talk about the rise of the rookies. While Ashton Jeanty has been a top 24 player since the moment he was drafted, the gap is shrinking, even if he is still number one. Both TreVeyon Henderson and Omarion Hampton have taken advantage of their opportunities in the preseason, with Henderson doing more in the actual games and Hampton benefiting from Najee Harris' ongoing absence from team work. RJ Harvey is another rookie riser, because if preseason usage means anything at all, he looks like the lead back in Denver Week 1.Amongst the wide receivers, there have really been three big risers: Travis Hunter, Tetairoa McMillan, and Emeka Egbuka. For the first two, the redraft rise doesn't show up in the rookie rankings because Henderson and Hampton have risen faster. For Egbuka, […]
College football betting: Most overvalued and undervalued teams for Week 0 and Week 1 include Ohio State
Every Thursday during the college football season, I'll share who I think are the most undervalued and overvalued teams across that week's slate. A great example of a "spot" play is Vanderbilt's upset over Alabama last season. The Commodores were returning home after two straight road losses, while Alabama was coming off an emotional win over No. 2 Georgia. Vanderbilt won the game outright as a 23-point underdog. We will see more spots like that once the season gets going, and I'll debut the article next Thursday for Week 1. With only five games on the slate this Saturday, I'll take a different approach and look at some teams that are undervalued and overvalued based on the Week 1 odds. UndervaluedOld Dominion Monarchs Old Dominion Monarchs is a team I like this season. I bet the Monarchs to win the Sun Belt Conference at +1000, and I […]
Predicting landing spots for five potential RB trade targets as Browns, Chiefs, Saints reportedly explore help
Running backs may not be the most premium of NFL positions, but that doesn't mean they're not valuable. Weeks after the Buffalo Bills paid James Cook to stick around for the long haul under a lucrative new deal, a handful of teams are eyeing upgrades for their backfield, scouring the pre-cutdown trade block for available veterans.Among the teams in hot pursuit: the Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints, according to The Athletic. The Browns have yet to sign rookie second-round draft pick Quinshon Judkins, the Chiefs have struggled to find steady competition behind Isiah Pacheco, and the Saints, despite retaining Pro Bowler Alvin Kamara atop the depth chart, are without a proven insurance policy for new coach Kellen Moore's offense.

Lamar Jackson injury: Ravens star quarterback misses practice after teammate steps on his foot
Getty Images Lamar Jackson did not practice on Thursday after leaving practice early on Wednesday. A teammate stepped on the star QB's foot and caused enough of an issue that Jackson left the Ravens' practice 40 minutes early. A team spokesperson said following practice on Wednesday that Jackson was fine.Jackson stayed in a few plays after he was knocked to the ground, but was seen headed to the team's training facility shortly thereafter while being flanked by several members of the medical staff. Several Ravens, including offensive coordinator Todd Monken and receiver Tylan Wallace, didn't see what happened regarding Jackson. "I was thinking like, 'Oh, he's probably just resting his arm or something like that,'" Wallace said after practice. "Obviously, we'll keep him in our prayers and everything and hope he's doing great. But with Lamar being Lamar, he'll be back before we […]

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler tops that list, of course, as he looks to become the first man to successfully go back-to-back in the season-long race.Scheffler will be his defense at 2 p.m. ET on Thursday alongside the man with the most FedEx Cup titles (three), Rory McIlroy.
