All of these athletes have the elusive membership to the “Greatest of All Time” club. Shohei Ohtani, meanwhile, is currently filling out his membership paperwork as we speak.
Ohtani, 31, comes from Japan, home of some of the greatest athletes to ever make their mark in American professional sports. He followed in the footsteps of legendary Japanese baseball players such as Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki and Masanori Murakami, the first Japanese-born player to appear in Major League Baseball.
Ohtani was born to play baseball. He clung to the sport at an early age and easily could have played at any of Japan’s powerhouse high school programs in the big cities, but he chose to stay at his hometown school.
It was around this time that international baseball scouts began hearing about a young phenom flame-thrower out of Japan.
