SYNOPSIS: Dodgers designated hitter Ohtani Shohei becomes the first MLB player ever with 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in the same season. In the same game, he improved the record to 51-51. In response to this remarkable achievement, extra editions of newspapers were distributed in Tokyo on the morning of September 20.

S/ Newspaper distributor:

It’s a special edition about Ohtani. An extra-edition covering Ohtani’s 50-50 achievement!

S/ Female Fan:

I watched it on TV. Congratulations! I expect him to continue performing well going forward. I hope he’ll be happy.

S/ Male Fan:

When I got up, he had hit 49 home runs, and I thought, “There’s no way he’ll make it today.” But he hit his 50^th and even his 51^st. Ohtani has always felt like someone far beyond reach, but now he seems even further away. It’s because Ohtani is working so hard that I’m able to push myself as well.
