Shohei Ohtani, Angels fans can get 'closure' in slugger's return to Big A with Dodgers, Roberts says
Shohei Ohtani has returned to the stadium and the city where he did just about everything except win
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Shohei Ohtani has returned to the stadium and the city where he did just about everything except win.
The two-way superstar was back at Angel Stadium on Tuesday night for his first regular-season game as a visitor with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ohtani left the Angels as a free agent last winter after six losing seasons, making a move that has taken him a whole lot farther than just those 30 miles up the I-5 freeway from Anaheim to Los Angeles.
After becoming a baseball sensation despite playing for the perpetually struggling Angels, Ohtani is now on the best team in the majors. While the Halos trudge to the end of yet another season as one of the worst teams in the big leagues, Ohtani is just a few weeks away from his MLB postseason debut.
But first, he'll suit up for two games in the visitors' clubhouse at the stadium where his transcendent presence was the most exciting thing about six otherwise grim years of Angels baseball.
