Baseball fans looking to see Shohei Ohtani pitch against the Red Sox on Marathon Monday had to fight off more than just traffic to see the Angels star.
Boston’s 11 a.m. matchup saw constant challenges when it came to the day’s weather, beginning with an hour-long rain delay to first pitch.
While the game finally got going just after noon, the weather remained an issue. Ohtani, who was both hitting and pitching on Monday, decided to take some extra precautions when he reached base.
Once he was on first, following a single off Brayan Bello, Ohtani donned a jacket to keep himself warm, not something often seen in baseball since the universal DH rule came into place.
