Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani Thursday became the first ever Major League Baseball player to reach 50 homers and 50 stolen bases in a season.

Ohtani hit his 50th homer of the season in the top of the seventh inning after stealing his 50th and 51st bases earlier in the game.

His origin story is unlikely, growing up in a small city in northern Japan where he played catch for hours with his dad, who worked at the local Mitsubishi plant.On Thursday night, the boy from Oshu slugged and stole his way to baseball immortality.
