It was September 29th, and there were still a few games left in October, but they were of little consequence since both teams had been out of contention the entire summer. Although, in the case of the visiting Oakland Athletics, it might have been more accurate to admit that they did not have a chance from square one. The Angels had at least ended April atop the AL West. The Houston Astros, perennial pennant winners, had been lurking not so subtly in the background, but it still gave hope to a fan base that had been deprived of playoff baseball for eight years. Their early season hopes had been tethered to two players. One of whom was now patrolling center field after having returned from a back disorder that for a moment seemed to put his season in peril; Mike Trout had been drafted by the Angels well over a decade ago and had since won three MVPs while being widely regarded as the best player of his generation. The other player, meanwhile, was probably the sole reason anyone was watching this game. Shohei Ohtani was making his final home start of the season and prepared to fire a 3-2 pitch to A’s third baseman Vimael Machin. Halos fans groaned in disappointment as they watched the lefty batter foul away a slider that darted down and in. But they were soon satisfied as Machin waved at the next pitch, a slider that fluttered up in the zone for the right-hander’s ninth strikeout of the night. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
