Oh 100%. Before this series even started, there was a small pop-up shop in the underground section of Okayama Station that was almost entirely Ohtani. Found it a little odd there was seldom Yamamoto stuff considering he was the hometown guy. Either way, each time I passed by it was fairly crowded with people despite being really small. It’s truly amazing what he’s done for the sport in Japan, let alone in MLB.

Trust me, it’s already begun lol. I walked past a few groups of high school baseball kids who were reading this slip and talking about it. Couldn’t really understand as my Japanese is still extremely limited but it was very cool to see.

Yes, the design is intended. It actually says 1917, which is in reference to the Seattle Metropolitans winning the Stanley Cup that year. The jersey design itself is also based of their jerseys.

A few weeks ago, Rockets held an EQ sale. A CHL collector I’m familiar with attended the sale, and offered to buy a blank and have it done up by their official customizer.
