11 photos of Shohei Ohtani taking in Rams-Saints as a new member of the Dodgers

Shohei Ohtani is used to being a megastar in Los Angeles, but playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers moving forward is only going to ramp up the hype.

After signing a historic 10-year, $700 million deal, Ohtani will be the centerpiece of one of the most popular teams in baseball in the United States’ second-biggest city. That carries a lot of merit and weight, folks.

With Ohtani not even two weeks into his Dodgers career, he decided to take in some more sights in Southern California by attending Thursday night’s matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints. And boy, was he a giant magnet of attention. Because of course he was. (Note: Maybe Kirk Herbstreit should learn how to pronounce his name next time!)

Let’s take a look at some of the highlights where Ohtani somehow looks slick no matter what he’s doing. He’s the talk of the town, after all.
