Fans were also eager to see Ohtani's dog, Decoy, who had gained fame as Ohtani’s companion and took part in the night’s special events.
After entering the stadium, fans witnessed Decoy, Ohtani’s dog, throw out the ceremonial first pitch, setting the stage for Ohtani’s 42nd home run, which helped secure the Dodgers’ 6-4 victory.
Eager fans entered Dodger Stadium hours before the match began, hoping to catch a glimpse of Ohtani and to get their hands on the limited edition bobblehead figurine.
Dodger officials announced that only the first 40,000 fans would receive the highly sought-after Ohtani bobblehead, making it a race against time for those hoping to collect this piece of memorabilia.
In addition to the standard bobbleheads, the Dodgers announced that a few lucky fans would receive special golden versions, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event.
Bobbleheads, characterized by their oversized heads, are used by sports teams, especially in baseball, as promotional tools to engage fans and commemorate players or mascots.
These figurines are designed to recreate or represent players or mascots, becoming a cherished collectible among fans, particularly when linked to historic achievements like Ohtani’s.
Shohei Ohtani hit his 42nd home run of the season during this memorable game, further solidifying his place as one of baseball’s greatest talents.
