VIDEO: Ohtani makes Dodgers home run history

The megastar slugger has made history once again with his 8th homer this season. Shohei Ohtani now surpasses his own manager Dave Roberts with the most home runs of a Japanese-born Dodger player.

Ohtani broke the L.A. record in a packed Dodger Stadium as enthralled fans watched history being made again by the superstar. Ohtani made his 8th home run on a victorious May 4 game against top National League rival Atlanta Braves with a runaway score of 11-2.

Just the week before, Shohei tied with Roberts who jokingly asked for a car as a celebration gift. Ohtani, ever the jokester, obliged and gave his manager a Porsche, a toy Porsche. After surpassing Roberts’ seven home run record, former Dodger pitcher and current sportscaster Orel Hershisher quipped, “Maybe he’ll get a real car now.”
