TEXAS, Jul 17 (NHK) - Japanese Major League Baseball star Ohtani Shohei participated in the Red Carpet Show ahead of the All-Star Game, and he brought his pet dog to the spectacle...in style.
This year's MLB All-Star Game is taking place on Tuesday at Globe Life Field, the home stadium of the Texas Rangers. The red carpet was rolled out for the players. The athletes and their family members dressed up for the pre-game show.
Ohtani, who announced earlier this year that he had gotten married, walked along the red carpet with his wife Mamiko.
Their pet dog Dekopin, or Decoy in English, was not there. But during a photo shoot, Ohtani flipped open his jacket to display the lining, which was decorated with many images of Dekopin.
