It’s July 5, 2024, the day Shohei Ohtani says goodbye to his 20s. The Dodgers superstar turns the big 3-0 today. And the baseball world is throwing him a giant social media party to celebrate.
“The best baseball player in the world turns 30 today,” praised @WhistleUncut on Twitter featuring a moving video montage of Shohei as a boy in Japan to present day as the top hitter on the Los Angeles Dodgers. In a post from @shoheisaveus, a photo of several fans in two adjacent rows at Dodger Stadium wear shirts that spell out “Happy Birthday Shohei Ohtani.” MLB did a touching throwback, posting “Shohei Ohtani turns 30 years old today. Here’s a look back at some childhood photos of the baseball superstar.”
Yakyu Cosmopolitan also joined in the party, reminiscing “On this day in 1994, Shohei Ohtani was born. The rest is history.” Further representing his global reach, MLB Europe posted “Happy 30th Birthday to the one and only Shohei Ohtani!” prefaced with four unicorn emojis. Dodgers Nation expressed an epic tribute for one of their own: “Happy birthday to the man that continues to evolve the game of baseball every year he plays. Shohei Ohtani has done so much for the game and we are in awe knowing he’ll continue to do so as a member of the Dodgers.”
