I don't watch baseball but even from just being in the sports hemisphere I know Ohtani is a white whale of a player. And even just the idea that a white whale would choose Toronto over any other city is a massively massive big deal.
Ppl have been asking for a hockey or Flames related perspective on this and best I could come up with was OV freely signing with CGY. Or that in terms of what kind of player Ohtani is is like MacKinnon who can also play goalie as good as a top 10 goalie in the league.
This is a pretty monumental situation.
Not for nothing but I miss the pre social media days where something like this could only be a surprise one things were official and then the gravity of it could only be emphasized by how big the print was on the front page of the newspaper the day after or being the top story on the regular news, not just sports news.
