The Los Angeles Dodgers biggest signing of the off-season, or maybe ever, is being celebrated in a new mural on the side of a Hermosa Beach business.
The image depicts Shohei Ohtani peering over his shoulder while wearing his new team’s uniform.
Venice-based artist Gustavo Zermeño Jr. created the mural, DailyUpdate Hub reported.
Zermeño Jr. originally planned to create a tribute to the Kings, Dodgers and Lakers. “But with Ohtani signing, we thought he deserved the prominent side of the wall; something a little bit more visible from the street,” Zermeño told the Hub.
Ohtani signed a record-shattering $700 million, 10-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Dec. 9. A total of $680 million — 97% of the money — was deferred until 2034-43 with no interest.
Fans who want to view the mural can find it at Oceanview Liquor on the corner of Manhattan Avenue and 33rd Street.
