Last season, the Los Angeles Dodgers ’ brand-new superstar Shohei Ohtani compiled stunning numbers on his path to becoming the first ever DH-only MVP. Without a doubt, Ohtani’s 50-50 run brought much joy to Dodger fans everywhere. But unbeknownst to fans, this only scratched the surface of the joy taking place behind the scenes in the clubhouse.

“While Roberts may have gotten back at Ohtani on Friday, the real winner of the whole ordeal might have been Decoy, Ohtani’s dog, who had a blast playing with the giant pile of ball-pit balls the manager left behind,” Thomas Harrigan of MLB.com wrote.
