Despite being in the middle of a gambling scandal in which his friend and former performer Ippei Mizuhara allegedly stole millions from him, Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani tried to put on a happy face when he was introduced as a member of his new team. for the first time.

It was opening day at Dodger Stadium and to commemorate the special occasion, the team had Breaking Bad star Brian Cranston announce the lineups.

Ohtani, the second batter, was revealed to a standing ovation and thunderous applause from the Dodger faithful who filled Chavez Ravine Stadium.

In his first at-bat, Ohtani had a double, but was thrown out trying to turn his hit into a triple when Mookie Betts failed to come home.

Before that at-bat, he received another ovation of applause as the crowd eagerly awaited the superstar’s first swings at the plate.

A few days ago, Ohtani addressed the situation with the press for the first time since the news broke while the team was in Korea.

“Just on a personal note, I’m very sad and surprised that someone I trusted did this,” Ohtani said Monday.

He assured fans, “I never bet on baseball or any other sport, nor have I ever asked anyone to do so on my behalf, and I have never gone to a sports book to bet on sports.”

‘Until a couple of days ago, I didn’t even know this was happening. Just to review the result, in conclusion, Ippei has been stealing money from my account and telling lies.’

Ohtani spokespeople have since said they have launched an investigation into Mizuhara’s actions, but did not say which agency was in charge of it.
