Shohei Ohtani's first appearance with his new team came after he only took two at-bats in a Dodger uniform, much to the delight of his new bride's visit to the season opener at Gocheok Sky Dome on Wednesday. In Major League Baseball's Seoul Series, the Japanese sensation rifled a slider off countryman Yu Darvish's to the right field for a single single. His new wife, Japanese basketball player Mamiko Tanaka, was seen exchanging high fives with a few people seated around her, all of whom were wearing Dodger hats and jerseys, before she was snapped quickly by ESPN cameras. 'She's a big story because Shohei was in certain circles,' ESPN's Karl Ravech wrote of Tanaka, whose identity was closely guarded until last week, when Ohtani posted a snapshot of the couple on Instagram.'
