MLB | Amazing! Shohei Ohtani was unable to open due to traffic in San Francisco

Fate did not want Shohei Ohtani will make its opening this Thursday with Los Angeles Angels on the Major League Baseball. Incredible as it may seem, the Japanese could not reach the stadium of the Oakland Athletics due to traffic in the city of San Francisco and then due to the delay in the train.

A traffic accident left one of the buses of Los Angeles Angels trapped in the Bay Bridge, so they had to take the city train that has a stop at the Athletics stadium, however, they did not count on the fact that precisely the train they took had delays, which made them not could arrive well in advance.

For this reason, Shohei Ohtani could not perform the respective warm-up exercises before each opening and therefore the manager of Los Angeles Angels, Joe Maddon decided to move his opening to Friday and replace Patrick Sandoval. But the Japanese was not out of action, as he was placed as a designated hitter.

Controversy with the train company

Once the manager of Los Angeles Angels, Joe Maddon, released the anectoda, on the official Twitter account of BART, as the city subway is known, came out to deny the strategist and ensure that they had not presented any delay. However, shortly after they admitted to having problems so the reason for Ohtani’s delay was confirmed.

This episode will remain as one more anectode in the season that the Japanese is having in the MLB, in which he shines as both a pitcher and a batter. From the mound he is 3-3 with a 2.37 ERA, while on the bat he dazzles with an offensive average of .269 and 15 home runs.
