$700 million man Shohei Ohtani made Dodgers manager Dave Roberts wish come true. Only not in the way he expected.
Roberts recently joked that Ohtani should gift him a Porsche when he broke his Dodgers record for most home runs by a Japanese-born player. Roberts was born in Naha, Okinawa, Japan, to a Japanese mother and American father. He hit seven home runs for the Dodgers from 2002 to 2004.
Ohtani surpassed Roberts’ mark on Saturday during the third inning of Saturday’s 11-3 win against the Braves.
But before Friday’s game, anticipating the inevitable, Ohtani gifted Roberts a purple toy model Porsche. in his office. Roberts said the car is sitting on his desk.
“He did buy me a car. I guess I didn’t specify what type of car,” Roberts said before the game. “So I can’t say he never gave me anything.”

Ashley Kelly is having a December to remember, courtesy of Shohei Ohtani.
The Dodgers’ $700 million man gifted a brand-new Porsche to the wife of teammate Joe Kelly. The gift was a token of thanks for her campaign to bring the free agent to sign with the Dodgers.
“It’s yours. From Shohei,” Ashley Kelly is told in a video posted to social media. “He wanted to gift you a Porsche. I swear.”
The new owner of the silver four-door sports car was stunned.
“Shut the…” she said. She left the rest of the sentence silent.
Ashley Kelly’s viral #Ohtake17 campaign began as she offered her husband’s No. 17 and jokingly changed her seven-month-old’s name from Kai to ShoKai.
She also offered every piece of Kelly No. 17 apparel she owned, including a “Zaddy 17” sweater.
