Tokyo Boy Snags Shohei Ohtani's First Homer of the Season

India Today  

Sota Fujimori is the luckiest 10-year-old in Japan. Sitting in right-center field on Wednesday night at the Tokyo Dome, he watched Shohei Ohtani’s home run in the fifth inning fall off the hands of another fan nearby — and back onto the field. Young Sota retrieved it as umpires reviewed the play to ensure the ball had cleared the wall and Ohtani had his first home run of the season. Crow-Armstrong confirmed during a postgame interview that he threw Ohtani’s ball into the crowd. Even though he thought the home run call was questionable, he was pleased to hear the ball ended up in the boy’s hands.
