Shawn Green's 49-homer Dodgers record is on the verge of falling as Shohei Ohtani chases a 50-50 season. Green recently expressed his thoughts about Ohtani.
Twenty-three years ago today, Dodgers power hitter Shawn Green was holding steady at 46 home runs. But at that moment, he wasn't just sitting on that number — he was sitting out, along with the rest of Major League Baseball, during a week-long break as the country came to grips with the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.After Green and the Dodgers returned to the field on Sept. 17, he went on to hit three more homers to finish the season with a franchise record of 49.
If it's going to get broken, why not be broken by the greatest player who ever lived?'Since Ohtani burst onto the scene with the Angels in 2018, Green has been watching his career. Ohtani's pursuit of the Dodgers' home run record is just one impressive highlight in what has been a historic season for the Japanese two-way sensation. If things keep going this way, he could be on track to become the first full-time designated hitter ever to win an MVP award.
