In a year when Shohei Ohtani made history seemingly every night, Game 1 of the World Series provided another opportunity to commemorate his greatness.
Ohtani's Angels fell far short of qualifying for the Fall Classic, but Ohtani was in Houston on Tuesday to receive the Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award, marking just the 16th time the award has been given out.
Ohtani became the first regular two-way star in over a century, hitting 46 home runs with 100 RBIs and 26 stolen bases offensively to go along with a 9-2 record on the mound with a 3.18 ERA and 156 strikeouts.
