Shohei Ohtani gifted manager Dave Roberts a Porsche after breaking the Dodgers' record for most HRs by a Japanese-born player, but not how you think.
Dave Roberts recently joked that Shohei Ohtani should gift Roberts a Porsche when Ohtani breaks his Dodgers' record for most home runs by a Japanese-born player. Ohtani obliged, just maybe not in the way Roberts imagined. Before Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves, the Dodgers' slugger gifted Roberts a purple toy model Porsche in his office. Roberts said the car is sitting on his desk.
'I guess I didn’t specify what type of car, so I can’t say he never gave me anything.' Ohtani gifted Ashley Kelly, the wife of Joe Kelly, a Porsche for Kelly giving up No. 17 when Ohtani signed with the Dodgers last December. Kelly's wife took to social media while Ohtani was weighing his free agency decision, promising him that he could have the number and all the gear associated with it.
