History Is Made at Today's Dodgers Game in Florida...

The Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani became the first player in Major League Baseball history to score 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season...on September 19, 2024.

Congrats to Shohei Ohtani for being the first-ever player in Major League Baseball history to achieve 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season!

Ohtani ended today's game—in which the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Miami Marlins, 20-4, at loanDepot park in Florida—with his 51st home run and 51st stolen base.

This feat takes place almost 36 years after the Oakland A's Jose Canseco started the 40/40 club by stealing his 40th base and finishing the game with his 42nd home run against the Milwaukee Brewers on September 23, 1988, respectively.

Now all Ohtani needs to truly cement his greatness (that was denied to him during his 6-year stint with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim) is to finally win his first World Series title! You're on the clock, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.

The Dodgers have officially clinched a spot in the MLB playoffs with today's victory.
