The Los Angeles Dodgers have introduced a new celebratory gesture based on a commercial by Shohei Ohtani, who has inspired various celebrations within the team. The gesture, which mimics holding a fragrance bottle, became popular after the Dodgers players playfully teased Ohtani during the Tokyo Series. This reflects the tight-knit atmosphere of the clubhouse. Ohtani's immense popularity, especially in Japan, was highlighted during the series, with Cubs players expressing awe at his celebrity status, drawing comparisons to legendary figures like Michael Jordan.
The Dodgers have now adopted the gesture as a celebration for when they get hits, to the approval of Ohtani.
