Shohei Ohtani entered the 50/50 club after he capped off a historic night against the Miami Marlins on Thursday. The Dodgers star entered the game needing two home runs and one stolen base to accomplish the feat of being the only major league player in history to have 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season.

He hit three home runs and stole two bases as he breached the 50/50 mark, ending the game at 51/51. It's celebration time in Chavez Ravine and the Dodger Stadium is celebrating it in a unique way as the team returns home on Friday to play the Colorado Rockies.

The spectators in attendance at the ballpark will be able to taste "a 50/50 Club Combo Special with Loaded Chicken Katsu Sliders and Goat Fries" in honor of Shohei Ohtani's historic milestone.

This will only be on the menu for Friday and it will have a special helmet on top of it.

Shohei Ohtani congratulated by MLB commissioner after historic night

The MLB world was taken by storm when Shohei Ohtani went 6-for-6, hitting five extra base hits, three home runs and 10 RBIs against the Marlins. The Dodgers slugger expressed his surprise after the game ended as he took it all in after reaching baseball heights.

“To be honest, I’m the one probably most surprised," Ohtani said, per BBC Sport. "I have no idea where this came from, but I’m glad that I performed well."

Congratulations rolled in from all corners of the world. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred also had a special message for the Japanese slugger on making history.

“While Shohei Ohtani has been a groundbreaking player for many years, his latest feat as the first 50-50 player in the history of Major League Baseball reflects not just his amazing power-and-speed talent, but his character, his drive, and his commitment to all-around excellence,” said Manfred.
"On behalf of Major League Baseball, I congratulate Shohei on this remarkable achievement. We are proud that he continues to take our game to new heights."

With nine games still remaining to be played, there's no ceiling on where Shohei Ohtani will end up with. A 60/60 might be out of reach, although a 55/55 finish seems likely on the cards.
