When the MLB Los Angeles Dodgers players left the spring training base, two buses escorted by three police cars took everyone to the airport, Shohei Ohtani was at the back of the team, he was wearing a casual tracksuit to take the plane, and when asked how he spent more than 10 hours on the plane, he replied, "Sleep."
Today, I arrived at Haneda Airport in Japan on a charter flight to prepare for the overseas opening match with the Cubs at Tokyo Dome from the 18th to the 19th, and more than 500 fans were picked up at the scene, and Shohei Ohtani also said through social media IG: "I'm back."
After the Dodgers team finished the warm-up game in the United States, they took two buses to the airport, and more than 47,000 people followed the direction of the Dodger flight through Flightradar24. After the plane arrived in Japan at 3 p.m. Japan time, many fans were also on the scene to greet and watch the superstar.
Mr. Ohtani updated his Instagram almost as soon as he arrived in Japan, with a view from the cabin, a video of the plane taxiing down the runway and a photo of his dog, Decoy, yawning.
In March last year, the Dodgers opened overseas in South Korea, and Ohtani acted with his wife Mamiko, but this year Mamiko was pregnant and stayed at home in the United States with Decoy, but Mamiko also thoughtfully prepared Japanese snacks, Hello Kitty goods and other small gifts for the wives of other players, hoping that they would enjoy their trip to Japan.
The Dodgers are expected to practice collectively at Tokyo Dome on the 14th, and fans will also be allowed to watch in the stadium, and the warm-up games will be Hanshin vs. Cubs and Giants vs. Dodgers on the 15th, Hanshin vs. Dodgers and Giants vs. Cubs on the 16th, and the Dodgers will launch Yushin Yamamoto vs. Cubs Imanaga Sebuta in the opening game of the Major League on the 18th.
