Shohei Ohtani Wins National League MVP Award

Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Dodgers' designated hitter, won the National League MVP Award unanimously, marking his third career MVP and first in the National League. Ohtani's historic season included becoming the first player to achieve a 50-homer, 50-steal season, leading the NL in several key offensive categories, and winning his first World Series. Despite the focus on Ohtani, his dog Decoy stole the spotlight during the award announcement when he leapt off the couch, amusing viewers and Ohtani alike. Ohtani joins Frank Robinson as the only players to win MVPs in both the American and National Leagues. This season was notable for Ohtani as he excelled as a hitter while recovering from an elbow injury, demonstrating his versatility and resilience. Decoy, who has become a fan favorite, also participated in various Dodgers events, adding to the memorable season.
