Take a front row seat to Shohei Ohtani's thrilling performance in the 2025 National League Championship in this exciting nonfiction graphic novel series that puts readers right in the middle of the greatest moments in sports history
It's game four of the 2025 National League championship series. All eyes are on Shohei Ohtani, the once-in-a-lifetime talent from Japan who's one victory away from taking the Los Angeles Dodgers to the World Series. Ohtani's game is electric--not only is he one of the best pitchers in the league, he's also a powerhouse hitter. The MLB hasn't seen this kind of crossover talent since the legendary Babe Ruth.
Millions of fans across the U.S. and Japan are tuning in to see if one of baseball's all-time greats has what it takes to make history tonight. But how did we get here? How did a young boy from Japan become one of the brightest stars of America's favorite pastime?
From Japan's first introduction to baseball after the American Civil War to Babe Ruth's famous barnstorming tour, to the second World War and beyond, readers will trace the relationship between the United States and Japan through time. This exciting graphic novel series offers a portal to the past and a front-row seat to history's greatest games.
