The greatest hitter of all-time by far, by far. Like no one's in even the conversation with Barry Bonds. He is the Michael Jordan of hitting. The best pitcher that I ever saw was Roger Clemens. What makes Ohtani so rare and different: he's both. And if that's not enough, he also steals bases like Rickey Henderson. So we've never seen anything like this. And you know, I think there's a lot of kids that are 10 years old that are hoping to be the next Shohei Ohtani. And that's a wonderful thing.” LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES (NOVEMBER 3, 2025) (SPECTRUM SPORTSNET – Access all) 8.

(MUTE) STORY: Former New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez said the Los Angeles Dodgers' World Series victory capped "the greatest World Series I've seen in my lifetime" and signaled the franchise's firm grip on Major League Baseball on Monday (November 3). “The greatest World Series I've seen in my lifetime," Rodriguez said. "Before we started, we thought it was David versus Goliath. Before game seven, we knew we were wrong. This was Goliath versus Goliath.” The Dodgers were down to their final two outs in Saturday's (November 1) deciding game in Toronto but rallied to force extra innings where they claimed their second title in a row and third in six years. Rodriguez, commonly known by the nickname A-Rod, called the Dodgers the sport's gold standard, praising president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman for deploying resources to assemble elite talent and sustain annual contention. "If you hate the Dodgers, you're probably going to want to cover your ears here," he said. "Not only are they just getting started, but they have the number one minor league system of the 30 teams. Number one in pitching, number one in prospects, number one in hitting. So the Dodgers have it all going on." During Monday's championship parade, hitter-pitcher Shohei Ohtani was among those who talked about a 'three-peat' next season and Rodriguez, a three-time American League MVP and World Series champion in 2009, said it was possible. “He's definitely the greatest of all time as far as a unique, spectacular player," Rodriguez said of Ohtani. Rodriguez said Ohtani is part of a growing roster of Japanese talent alongside World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto and closer Roki Sasaki. The series had Rodriguez reflecting on his own playing days. "It was just an awesome World Series to cover," he said. "My only wish, I would be embarrassed to tell you how much money I would pay to be part of the World Series, to actually play in the World series because I miss it so much." (Production: Evan Garcia)
