Ohtani’s epic game erases all the doubts

Ohtani shut up his skeptics.

- 

At some point in the future, however, the suspicions will return. They always do, and that’s why it’s important to remember Ohtani’s NLCS performance.

Remember what it was like to see him make baseballs vanish into the October night the next time there are whispers about how the Dodgers might be better off with Ohtani focusing entirely on hitting. Remember what it was like to see him overpower the Brewers with his fastball and sweeper when questions start about him being too old to withstand the workload of a two-way player.

Games like the one Ohtani played against the Brewers are what makes sports worth watching. An athlete pushing the boundaries of what’s humanly possible are what make games interesting.

So enough with this nonsense about what he might not be able to do. Imagine what he can do, and let the dreamer continue to dream.

Baseball needs this. Ohtani wants this.
