Reader’s Question:
Can you imagine Aaron Judge living as long as Sadaharu Oh, while Shohei Ohtani appears to be struggling like Shigeo Nagashima? What do you think will happen 50 years from now?
Thoughts on the Future of Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge
Recently, while chatting about baseball with friends, we found ourselves discussing the future of Aaron Judge and Shohei
Ohtani. The contrast with legends like Sadaharu Oh and Shigeo Nagashima was particularly interesting and thought-provoking.
The Impact of a Stoic Life
Both Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani exude a sense of stoicism. Ohtani’s relentless pursuit of performance is particularly impressive, and Judge shares a similar mindset. However, I can’t help but wonder if living a stoic lifestyle from a young age, like Nagashima did by avoiding alcohol, might have implications for their later years. I remember a time in my life when I was also quite stoic due to a busy work schedule. I would refrain from going out with friends and work late into the night. Yet, I think it’s essential to occasionally indulge oneself. Reflecting on this, I wonder if enjoying life in youth, like Oh, is equally important.
Interesting Discoveries and Sharing Emotions
During our conversation, a friend jokingly remarked, “Maybe too much fun in youth leads to vitality in later years,” and I couldn’t help but laugh. Indeed, creating joyful memories when young is a significant asset in life. As a parent now, I want to ensure that I can share stories with my child about how I also enjoyed life, so I plan to embrace a more playful approach moving forward. Thinking about the future 50 years from now, I am excited to see which athletes will rise to prominence and what kind of lives they will lead. Just imagining how Ohtani and Judge will age fills me with anticipation!
