Shohei Ohtani hits his first career World Series home run! | 大谷翔平 ハイライト Posted on October 25, 2022 As a kid who grew up within one mile of Wrigley Field, and played one-on-one baseball... and who grew up a San Francisco Giants (& Oakland Athletics) fan in the Bay Area, I don't really care who wins. I just want Shohei Ohtani to hit one out every game. And strike 'em out. Well, I guess "Go Dodgers!" and hoping Shohei has an MVP-winning World Series performance. After his home run in Game 1 of the 2025 World Series, Shohei Ohtani joins Hideki Matsui as the only Japanese-born players to hit home runs in a World Series game.

Addison Russell now has 9 RBI this series, the most by a player age 22 or under in a World Series. Addison Russell greeted Indians reliever Dan Otero in the third inning with a grand-slam home run, the first ever by a Cubs player in a World Series game. Russell became the second shortstop in major-league history to hit a grand slam in a postseason game, joining Brandon Crawford, who did so for the Giants in the Wild Card game in 2014 at Pittsburgh. At age 22, Russell is the second-youngest player to hit a grand slam in a postseason game; Mickey Mantle was 21 when he cleared the bases with a Game 5 clout in the 1953 World Series at Ebbets Field. Russell's third-inning clout was the 19th grand-slam home run hit in the World Series, and the first hit by a shortstop, which completes the circuit of defensive positions for players who have hit jackpot homers in the Series. Five World Series grand slams have been hit by first basemen, four by second basemen, one by a third baseman...
