US Edition‘My wife really appreciated it’: Ohtani responds to Blue Jays fans’ taunts
Ohtani, signed by Dodgers over Blue Jays, remains unfazed by Toronto fans' chants during Game 1 despite the Dodgers' 11-4 loss in the 2025 World Series opener.
- Following a Dodgers workout Sunday in Los Angeles, Shohei Ohtani said he does not want to hear the `We don't need you!` chant and noted his wife's reaction.
- Blue Jays fans, still aggrieved over his signing, directed the derisive `We don't need you!` chant late in Toronto's opening win Friday.
- Ohtani's postseason numbers show he is hitting.224 in 12 games with six homers, 11 RBIs, one stolen base, and holds a 2-0 pitching record with a 2.25 ERA in the Series.
- Los Angeles and Toronto are tied at a game apiece in the best-of-seven World Series, and Ohtani will oppose Shane Bieber on Tuesday with a chance to homer for the first time in 17 years.
- Baseball history shows just 13 pitchers have homered in the World Series, and Babe Ruth was never a fulltime two-way player like Ohtani's unique two-way role in modern baseball.
