Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani Bobblehead Hype Reaches Wild Levels in Viral Photos, Videos | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats & Rumors

Los Angeles Dodgers fans flocked to Dodger Stadium on Wednesday night to accept Shohei Ohtani’s bobblehead.

According to ESPN’s Alden GonzalezFans had been lining up outside the stadium for 10 hours before the first pitch of the game.

The contest also included a limited number of gold bobbleheads featuring the Dodgers star and his dog.

“I’m just glad I made it,” Roberts said, per Scott Chiusano from MLB.com. “It’s unbelievable. I don’t know if it was Shohei or Decoy or a combo, but there’s a lot of demand for this damn bobblehead. It took me forever to get into Dodger Stadium.”

Ohtani’s dog’s popularity has grown since he unveiled his companion after accepting the 2023 American League MVP award. The four-time All-Star recently wore Decoy-inspired soccer cleats during MLB Players’ Weekend.

Though he won’t return to the mound until the 2025 season, Ohtani is in the midst of an incredible year at the plate. He’s hitting .294 with 41 home runs and 94 RBIs and has a National League-leading .994 OPS.

The 30-year-old also became the sixth player in MLB history on Friday to record at least 40 steals and 40 home runs in a single season.

Ohtani’s Dodgers career is off to an extraordinary start and it’s clear that fans are already crazy about him and Decoy.
