After spending over $1 billion in contracts this offseason, the Dodgers came into the 2024 season with World Series aspirations. On Thursday afternoon, they took the first step towards accomplishing their ultimate goal.

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani etched his name in Major League Baseball history on Thursday, becoming the inaugural member of the 50-50 club against the Miami Marlins.

In what has become a fall custom, the Los Angeles Dodgers are heading to the playoffs. The Dodgers clinched their 12th consecutive postseason berth Thursday with a 20-4 rout of the Miami Marlins on the same night that star slugger Shohei Ohtani homered three times and stole two bases to become the first player in major league history with 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season.
