LOS ANGELES (AP) — It's Shohei Ohtani Day in Los Angeles.
The Japanese two-way superstar was honored at Los Angeles City Hall on Friday and presented with a city council resolution that declared May 17 as Shohei Ohtani Day for the duration of his Dodgers career.
Ohtani signed a record $700 million, 10-year contract with the team in December, after spending six years in Anaheim with the Angels.
The council recognized Ohtani for his athletic achievements, with Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and members of the team's front office in attendance.
