No one in @MLB historical past had gone 5-for-5 with 2 homers, 4 additional base hits and a couple of steals.
And nobody had ever gone 6-for-6 with 3 homers, 5 extra-base hits and a couple of steals.
Shohei Ohtani did it on the day he christened the 50-50 Membership.
There is just one Shohei Ohtani. Unimaginable.
