The craze over Shohei Ohtani's move to the LA Dodgers continued as the player was honored with a second mural in the city just days after joining his new team.
Ohtani signed the biggest contract in MLB history, a whopping $700 million over 10 years, leaving fans in the city thrilled. However, the mural was met with mixed reactions from fans on social media, with some applauding it and others thinking it was too much too soon.
The latest mural was made by Venice-based artist Gustavo Zermeno Jr. It is located outside The Oceanview Liquor store in Hermosa Beach whose owner is a proud Dodgers fan and honored to have the Japanese star's mural outside his store.

However, not all fans were impressed with the move.
In the six years Ohtani has spent in the MLB, the 29-year-old has established himself as a once-in-a-generation player. He has won the AL MVP twice but has failed to make it to the playoffs, making his departure from the LA Angels very much expected.
Tyler Glasnow confirms Shohei Ohtani's video message helped him choose the Dodgers
Soon after signing Shohei Ohtani in a record-breaking deal, the Los Angeles Dodgers got straight to reinforcing the rest of their team, with particular emphasis on pitchers. They made a strong push for Tyler Glasnow and managed to secure him through a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Glasnow has now revealed that Shohei Ohtani sent him a video message that played a significant role in him signing for the Dodgers. The two players are promising additions to a team that is built with the sole purpose of winning the World Series.
"It definitely added a lot of points for me to go to the Dodgers," Glasnow said (via ESPN). "It was awesome. He just said he wants me to come on the team and hopes to hit some home runs for me and join me on the pitching staff the following year."
"I just want to pick his brain and know what he's learned. He just seems like such a cool dude and probably one of the best baseball players to ever live. I want to be on a field with that guy."
