The American League MVP winner was revealed last Thursday, and let’s be real, there was hardly any doubt about who was taking home the honor. Shohei Ohtani, the incredible two-way player and free agent, clinched his second AL MVP in three years, making history as the first player to do so unanimously, not once, but twice.
But surprisingly, the real MVP of the announcement wasn’t Ohtani himself. Nope, it was his furry friend who decided to share the spotlight during the live interview with MLB Network. Fans couldn’t get enough of Ohtani’s dog stealing the show on the couch
