As usual, Shohei Ohtani couldn’t keep his greatness simple. There is nothing standard about his high standards, nothing typical about the way he infiltrates every facet of a complicated game. So of course he made history in the most sublime manner possible.

Green’s 19 total bases remain an all-time single-game record. Anthony Rendon (April 30, 2017), Edgardo Alfonso (Aug. 30, 1999), Jimmie Foxx (July 10, 1932) and Ty Cobb (May 5, 1925) all enjoyed 6-for-6 games – though with fewer total bases than both Green and Ohtani.

Ohtani became the first major leaguer with at least 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season, earning praise from his home country’s fans, media, and government.
