Shohei Ohtani appears to have the Midas contact — and never simply on the subject of the World Sequence.
A Kansai College professor estimated the participant’s financial profit to the Dodgers this 12 months at $783 million, already surpassing the price of his record-breaking 10-year contract. Ohtani-led advert campaigns inside Japan have boosted gross sales for all the pieces from cosmetics to job-seeking websites. He’s even being credited with the rising reputation of takoyaki (fried octopus dumplings) within the U.S., because of chain Gindaco’s new outlet at Dodger Stadium.
Now, a conventional handicraft of Iwate Prefecture, the baseball participant’s dwelling area, is getting the Ohtani bump, too. Iwate is dwelling to Nambu tekki (ironware), whose nubbly kettles have been prized tea ceremony implements for hundreds of years.
