Two-way star hits two homers to reach historic milestoneNo player had ever logged 50 HR and 50 SB in same year
Shohei Ohtani had a day for the record books on Thursday, grabbing his 50th stolen base of the season before crushing two home runs to become the first player in Major League Baseball history to post a 50-homer, 50-steal season.
After steals in the first and second innings pushed Ohtani’s season total to 51, the Los Angeles Dodgers slugger crushed a slider from Marlins reliever George Soriano into the upper deck in Miami for his 49th home run of the year.
