The Post’s Jon Heyman urges Shohei Ohtani to come to the Big Apple.
I realize you aren’t talking to the press at the moment, Shohei, and that’s OK. Your brilliant play — even with a bum elbow, you hit a ballBut while you aren’t answering questions at the moment, I hope you’ll take the time to read this letter written urging you to consider New York as you ready yourself to become the most-followed free agent ever.
Yet another person who knows you well said he also sees no reason why the West Coast is the presumed preference again . That person says he assumes it was already decided you were going to the Angels, and the finalist list was just window dressing. After all, how could three NL teams be finalists when you really had to play in the only league with the DH back then?
There’s nothing better than being baseball star in New York, I’m told. You will be honored and revered like nowhere else, I hear. If you care, the greatest potential for marketing and commercial dollars is in New York, too. Look at Derek Jeter. He’s moved smoothly into a cushy career as a pitchman for everything not worth pitching. If Jeter can make millions pitching stuff, as the modern Babe Ruth, you could become the first billionaire ballplayer.
