Television ratings in Japan have set records as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Shohei Ohtani prepare to face the New York Yankees in the World Series
Customers shop around for goods related to Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers at a sporting goods store, 'SELECTION,' in Shinjuku district on Oct. 23, 2024, in Tokyo.Jiro Nishi wore a New York Mets cap as he browsed a Tokyo sporting goods store this week that boasts the largest array of MLB gear in Japan.
“I thought I’d wear something with the Dodgers logo to cheer them on,” he said. “I think the reason the Dodgers acquired Ohtani and Yamamoto was to win the World Series. So I would like to see them winning it.” Kakeru Watanabe, the manager of a store called Selection in Tokyo’s Shinjuku area, said that during the week, tourists make up half of the business. Some are baseball fans. Some are just curious and are drawn by the color palettes of all 30 MLB teams. Merchandise for the 12 Japanese pro teams is also on sale.
“After the Dodgers made it to the World Series, sales performance seemed to double or triple compared to a normal weekday,” Watanabe said.
