Card Back Story
In the bottom of the fifth inning in the matchup between the Angels and the Boston Red Sox, Shohei Ohtani drove an Eduardo Rodriguez slider well into the right-field seats for his 32nd home run of the year. With this longball, he surpassed Hideki Matsui for the most home runs in a single season for a Japanese-born player. Matsui clubbed 31 homers in his 2004 MLB All-Star season with the New York Yankees.
