The Los Angeles Dodgers are having a dream season in MLB 2025, with a solid record of 55 wins and 32 losses, leading the National League West Division.
These excellent results have permeated a dressing room that is in increasingly better spirits, which has been reflected in camaraderie, jokes and laughter among the members of the Los Angeles team.
During one of the games against the Chicago White Sox, rookie Andy Pages made a defensive error by failing to catch a fly ball, which turned into a double for the rivals. Fortunately, the team managed to pull off a 5-4 victory. But the moment did not go unnoticed by the team’s most charismatic player, Shohei Ohtani.
Ohtani teases Andy Pages
Before the next game, during pre-game training, Ohtani was caught doing an exact and exaggerated imitation of Pages‘ error, good-naturedly mocking the play. The video, shared by Dodgers Nation, shows Ohtani laughing as he recreates the action, which generated thousands of reactions on social media. The description of the clip read:
“Shohei Ohtani bothering Andy Pages during practice”.
This fun scene not only showed the good atmosphere in the clubhouse, but also the other side of the Japanese superstar: that of an inveterate prankster who knows how to keep the team’s morale high.
Why is Shohei Ohtani so special?
Although on the field Shohei Ohtani is recognized for his intensity and elite performance, with 30 home runs, 56 RBIs and a 1.015 OPS in just 85 games this season, off the field he shows a much more relaxed and fun side.
Ohtani has made jokes a regular part of his interaction with the team. In July, he posted an old funny photo of Yoshinobu Yamamoto on social media, just a day after his teammate congratulated him on his 30th home run. Even manager Dave Roberts has fallen victim to his jokes, such as when Ohtani gave him a toy Porsche, a joke related to the real car he gave to Joe Kelly’s wife for the number 17, which started a ‘war’ of jokes between the two.
The teammates also agree that Ohtani has a surprising character. Enrique Hernandez described him as “a little kid trapped in the body of a giant”, and Austin Barnes added: “He may seem serious, but he also knows how to joke around. He makes me laugh a lot.” “He has a childlike joy for the game, but he plays it like an adult,” said Blake Treinen, which shows the good atmosphere that has been created in the Los Angeles team, as well as the quick adaptation of the Japanese star with his teammates.

CLEVELAND — Junior Caminero remembers his first home run.At just 22 years old, the Rays’ third baseman has already asserted himself as one of the premier power hitters at the highest level of the sport. But his generational slugging prowess didn’t manifest overnight.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“I was 10 or 11,” Caminero told Yahoo Sports through team interpreter Eddie Rodriguez. “It was a Little League tournament at a park called the Olímpico.”Like many who grew up in the Dominican Republic, Caminero’s dreams of becoming a major-league ballplayer started young.

Jerry Jones Addresses Micah Parsons Trade: ‘This was by design’
Micah Parsons has officially been traded to the Green Bay Packers, according to multiple reports on Thursday. The move puts an end to the offseason saga between the Cowboys and their premier edge rusher.Over four years in Dallas, Parsons was the definition of consistency, racking up over 12 sacks and 40 tackles each season. He sought a market-setting deal because of his production. The Cowboys, on the other hand, wanted to negotiate the terms and things got messy.Parsons met with Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones during the offseason to reportedly discuss leadership, among other topics. During the conversation, Parsons' contract situation came up, but the defensive end did not feel as if it was a formal discussion. Instead of negotiations continuing, Parsons and his agent, David Mulugheta, didn't receive responses when they contacted the team. Due to that lack of communication and […]
LSU starting safety A.J. Haulcy to miss first half of Clemson game for ejection dating back to 2024
Kevin Jairaj LSU starting safety A.J. Haulcy will miss the first half of Saturday's top 10 clash against Clemson because of an ejection for fighting last season, an NCAA official told CBS Sports.Haulcy, while playing for Houston last season, was ejected late in the fourth quarter of the Cougars' regular-season finale against BYU. While the ejection was initially listed as unsportsmanlike conduct -- which would not come with any additional penalty -- it was later changed after the game to fighting. With that designation comes a required first-half suspension of the next game which just so happens to be in a different season with a different team. LSU coach Brian Kelly said Thursday that LSU wasn't aware of the situation until Wednesday, though an NCAA official told CBS Sports that Houston's "coaching staff was made aware of the suspension and clarification […]

But Micah Parsons did an outstanding job for us for four years and a little bit of the way Herschel Walker may have had his greatest contribution to the Cowboys, what he brought to us when he left could be a tremendous thing for our fans and the success of this team."Dallas sent Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a pair of first-round picks and […]
Micah Parsons Trade Breaks During ‘First Things First’ and Reactions Are Crazy
The FOX Sports "First Things First" crew could not contain their emotions when the Micah Parsons trade went down while they were live. Reactions came in the form of everything from pure joy to utter disbelief.Chris Broussard took a positive approach, saying "Good for Micah! I am happy for him!" Parsons had requested a trade on August 1st, so for the Cowboys to honor that request and move him to Green Bay, who rewarded him with an extension, is a huge win for the premier edge-rusher.Danny Parkins, on the other hand, looked at the deal from a negative perspective. "This is my nightmare," he said. And Nick Wright thought about the impact the Parsons trade would have on the show as "First Things First" predicted how the NFC North would shake out on its Wednesday episode.
