Blue Jays fans boo Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani ahead of World Series Game 1

The Los Angeles Dodgers will be looking to be the first team in MLB to repeat in 25 years. Colin Cowherd asks if the Dodgers are the best team ever if they repeat as champions.

Fans at the Rogers Centre in Toronto loudly booed Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani ahead of Game 1 of the World Series Friday. 

While it is common for fans to jeer opposing players during pregame lineups, the boos that serenaded Ohtani were uniquely loud compared to those for his Dodgers teammates. 

Ohtani didn't quiet the crowd either when he came up for his first plate appearance of the game, striking out to lead off the first inning.

When Ohtani entered free agency in the winter of 2023, he visited the Blue Jays as a potential suitor before signing with the Dodgers. 

The Blue Jays gave Ohtani a hat and a jacket for Decoy, Ohtani’s dog. Blue Jays manager John Schneider joked he would like both of those gifts back.

"I hope he brought his hat, the Blue Jay hat that he took from us in our meeting. I hope he brought it back, finally," Schneider said Thursday.

"And the jacket for Decoy," he added. "It’s like, ‘Give us our stuff back already.’"

Ohtani smiled when he heard about Schneider’s remarks and simply said through a translator, "It’s in my garage."

The Blue Jays manager said he wasn’t sure how close the team came to signing the Japanese superstar.
