A bobblehead of Shohei Ohtani and his furry friend Decoy drew long lines outside of Dodger Stadium —hours ahead of Wednesday’s game between the Dodgers and Orioles.
Video and pictures posted to social media showed fans lining up as early as noon PT to get into a game that didn’t begin until 7:10 p.m.
The bobblehead — that featured a gold Ohtani holding Decoy in his arms — was being given out to the first 40,000 fans who entered the stadium.
Outside, long lines of fans anxiously waited in anticipation of grabbing one of the coveted giveaways, with ESPN reporting fans were making big lines over three hours before game time.
An aerial video from Fox LA showed long lines of fans on Stadium Wa, and a video from NBC Los Angeles showed the massive traffic delay trying to get off the highway at 2:50 local time.
And, right before the game, the dog did the honors of the ceremonial first pitch, running a ball right to Ohtani.
