Baseball's Ohtani: A Superstar's Epic Night

Shohei Ohtani had a night to remember. On October 17, he showed off his skills in a big way. He hit three home runs and pitched six strong innings. His team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, won 5-1 against the Milwaukee Brewers. This win sent them to the World Series. People are now talking about if this was the best single-game performance in sports history. But was it really the best? Let's think about other amazing moments in sports. Michael Jordan played a legendary game while sick. He scored 38 points and helped his team win the NBA Finals. Tiger Woods won the U. S. Open with injuries. He played through pain to win a playoff. Wayne Gretzky had many great games. One standout was his hat trick in a Game 7. Reggie Jackson also had a big night. He hit three home runs in a World Series game. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal played an epic tennis match. It lasted almost five hours. Other athletes had great moments too. Tom Brady led a big comeback in the Super Bowl. Pele scored a hat trick in the World Cup. But the most amazing performance might be from a horse. Secretariat won the Belmont Stakes by a huge margin. He set a record that still stands today.
