LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers circled around one another Friday night, spraying champagne and guzzling beer, with a few taking turns sliding on the wet tarp, but no matter how deep into the night the celebration lasted, no matter how many adult beverages were consumed, they still couldn’t adequately describe what they just witnessed.
They knew they were part of history. They knew they had never seen anything like it. There was nothing like it in the history books. It just didn’t seem humanly possible.
So how could they express what Shohei Ohtani just did in front of a frenzied sellout crowd of 52,883 that screamed and cheered so loud that Dodger Stadium actually shook?
“What we witnessed," Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy said, “was the single greatest game by a baseball player in the history of baseball."
Gushed Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez: “It was the greatest game by a human."
