Game 5 of the Major League Baseball World Series was held in New York on October 30 (October 31, Japan time), where Shohei Ohtani and pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Dodgers (National League) defeated the Yankees (American League) 7-6, winning their eighth World Series title in four years with a record of four wins and one loss. On November 1, TV Asahi announced that the latest special program "Tamori Station" celebrating this will be broadcast on the 8th at 8 pm.
Tamori Station has focused on Ohtani for three episodes so far, but this time, the theme will be "Shohei Ohtani's Records and a Memorable Year," and the program will look into the behind-the-scenes of his historic achievement with exclusive interviews.
This season, Ohtani achieved "50-50" (50 home runs, 50 stolen bases), the first time in the 120-year history of Major League Baseball. The program will broadcast footage of all 54 home runs and 59 stolen bases in 2024.
This season, Ohtani's success rate for stolen bases was the highest in major league history at 93.7%. In this program, we interview teammates, Dodgers executives, and opponents to find out the "secrets of stealing bases." We also delve into the "evolution of his base running ability" that lies behind his astonishing success rate.
We also explore how America, a baseball powerhouse, perceives Ohtani, and explore the "image of Ohtani" that the American media has portrayed. We delve into what Ohtani "communicated" to the world this year from various angles.
