ARLINGTON, Texas — U.S. Major League Baseball star of the Los Angeles Dodgers Shohei Ohtani participated in the All-Star Red Carpet Show, taking place ahead of the game on Tuesday. His wife Mamiko accompanied him for the first time since their marriage announcement in February.
Ohtani, dressed in a brown suit and white shirt, and Mamiko in a white dress, walked the 100-meter carpet laid out in front of the stadium. Despite the summer sun beating down in temperatures over 35 C, Ohtani posed for photos and signed autographs for his fans.
Ohtani’s jacket was lined with pictures of his dog Dekopin, also known as Decoy, which he showed off with a smile.
