Saw an interview from Pedro Martinez to Ohtani after the match. The amount of mutual respect between those great players was through the roof.

Yeah Bro. Ohtani is a class act.

This WBC was simply stellar. Better than 90% of the World Series stuff we see these days.

Othani can do what few others can do

A great advertisement for baseball. ICC could learn a few things for sure.

Keith Olberman of MSNBC fame complained and whined after a player was injured during the tournament... as if players don't get injured during spring training or winter league. Hopefully the WBC continues to endure and be a real showcase and get passions up in the quest to crown official 'world champs'.

I liked this take:

Translated for cricket fans: If this was a T20 World Cup Tournament, it would be like Ohtani averaging 60 with the bat at a 160 SR, with a bowling economy under 4 and a bowling average around 12.

Ohtani is a legend in our lifetime.

The Jordan, Gretzky, Bradman, Usain Bolt etc. of Baseball.

A legend in the making indeed. When it’s all over and done, Ohtani is likely to have a larger impact on Baseball than the comparable impact that Jordan, Gretzky and Bradman had on their respective sport.
