Shohei Ohtani didn’t have to travel far for his return to Anaheim as a member of the Dodgers (well, depending on traffic). And despite the two-way star signing across town with the Dodgers, the Angels did give Ohtani a warm greeting in Tuesday night’s game.
The scoreboard operator also had some fun with the homecoming.
As Ohtani came to the plate in the fifth inning — which followed the first-inning standing ovation and triple in the third — the Angel Stadium scoreboard displayed a bio section that succinctly described Ohtani’s relationship with the Angels.
The graphic simply read, “Used to work here.”

Hey, that’s not wrong!
We’re glad someone captured a photo of the scoreboard because it was excellent work.
MLB fans thought it was hilarious as well.
