3RENSHO: Baseball is my religion and Ohtani is the god of world baseball. So this uniform of the Fighter Ohtani 11 is a a religious relic to me. Going to a ball game weather it at Tokyo Dome or Miyagi Stadium is like going to Sunday Mass at the church. I enjoy the camaraderie, the singing of the players songs and the team song at the end of the 6th inning, and the teams competes for 4 hours.

GuruMick: show me a footballer who earns more as a professional sportsperson without endorsement than a baseball player. Juan Soto then comes Othani. they comes footballers Messi and than Ronaldo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_sports_contracts And If I wanted to watch drama Queens I go football.
