When Shohei Ohtani was a free agent in December 2023, he visited the Toronto Blue Jays' spring training complex, where he received a hat for himself and also a jacket for his dog "Decoy."Ahead of World Series Game 1, Blue Jays manager John Schneider asked for the hat back. When Ohtani was made aware of Schneider's comment, the two-way star said:"It's in my garage."Fans reacted to Ohtani's sharp jab back towards Schneider."It’s his lucky gambling hat…," one fan wrote, bringing gambling allegations from last year to the fore."Next to his boxes of old betting slips," another fan wrote."This brother don't rate us at all 😭😭😂" another fan added."Ohtani probably put that hat in the trash can on his way out. 😂" one fan added."BlueJays fans… please don’t boo him, he doesn’t need any motivation!! 😂" one fan said."Catches the oil drips from his motorcycle," one fan commented.Shohei Ohtani speaks highly about Toronto, reflecting on the experience with the cityThe Blue Jays were one of the interested teams wanting to sign Shohei Ohtani before the two-way star decided to ink a 10-year, $700 million deal with the LA Dodgers.Before that, Ohtani learned about the city and in the latest interview, he spoke positively about his experience in Toronto."Well, that was a great experience for me," Ohtani said. "I really had a wonderful time getting to know them as an entire organization. And the impression I got was that they were very top-class, awesome people. So, in that circumstance, getting to play against such a superb organization is something I'm really looking forward to."The Dodgers and the Blue Jays are scheduled to face off on Friday for Game 1. Ohtani came here on the back of a historic performance in NLCS Game 4, helping the Dodgers sweep the Milwaukee Brewers. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays went the distance with the Seattle Mariners before a go-ahead three-run home run by George Springer in the seventh inning of ALCS Game 7 helped them get to the World Series for the first time since 1993.It remains to be seen if the Dodgers win back-to-back titles or does the Blue Jays dethrone them to become the best team in baseball.
