The Los Angeles Dodgers reinforced their recent dominance of Major League Baseball by winning the eighth World Series title in franchise history and their second in the past five seasons.
After finishing with a record of 98-64 and winning the National League West, the Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees in the World Series.
This offseason, the Dodgers continued to improve their team as they added notable players including starting pitcher Blake Snell, starting pitcher Roki Sasaki and relief pitcher Tanner Scott.
Although Sasaki is the newest and most hyped Japanese player on the Dodgers, you can’t forget their proven Japanese star Shohei Ohtani, who just won the 2024 NL MVP award.
Now, a sculpture of Ohtani and his dog Decoy is going viral on social media, via MLB on X.

Ohtani has been one of the best, if not the best, players in baseball over the past four seasons.
He recently won his third MVP award in those four seasons, his first in the National League.
As a DH, Ohtani played in 159 games for the Dodgers and batted .310 with 54 home runs, 59 stolen bases, 130 RBIs and a 1.036 OPS.
Ohtani also went viral on social media during the World Series parade as he had Decoy with him.
It will be interesting to see if Ohtani can keep up his historic production next season as the Dodgers look for the first back-to-back World Series titles in their history.
