One of the best things about baseball is, that despite the sport being nearly 150 years old, history is still being made. Despite only being in the league since 2018, Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani has, again, made history.
Ohtani became the first member of the 50/50 club on Thursday, hitting his 49th, 50th, and 51st HRs and stealing his 50th and 51st bases in L.A.'s 20-4 win over Miami. Last year, Ronald Acuna Jr. won the National League MVP Award, largely because he joined the exclusive 40/40 club.
Ohtani not only joined that club — he created it. And the best part about it is that he didn't do it quietly. Let's take a look at Ohtani's absurd game against the Marlins on Thursday afternoon.

6-6
3 HRs
10 RBIs
2 2Bs
2 SBs
Ohtani started the day with a double in the first inning and promptly stole third base two batters later. It was his 50th bag of the year, and he was two home runs from the 50/50 club.
Ohtani singled in the second inning and then stole second base, his 51st of the season. In the third inning, he doubled but was thrown out trying to stretch it into a triple.
Ohtani hit home run No. 49 in the top of the sixth inning. It was a two-run shot that went 438 ft. to right center.
It was already a memorable night for Ohtani, but he didn't stop there. In a highlight that will be replayed for the foreseeable future, he hit home run No. 50 to left field. In his first season with the Dodgers, he set the franchise record for home runs in a single season.
The game was long over, but Ohtani got another at-bat in the top of the ninth inning and was facing second baseman Vidal Brujan. Ohtani showed no mercy and clocked his 51st home run of the season to right field. It was a towering shot that traveled over 450 feet.
