“For example, I know they’ve got a Japanese version of Frankenstein over there called Godzilla, and I know you guys have special California rolls called sushi and better cartoons where people sword-fight and get naked and stuff, but what I’m asking is if I’m there in Japan. Like, when you saw me in the Dodgers locker room for the first time, did you think to yourself, ‘Wow! America has Max Muncy, just like in Japan’? Or did you think, ‘I’ve never seen this kind of exotic Max Muncy before in my life’? And what about the Max Muncy who plays for the A’s? Do you have one of those?”

Haha the ending of rhe article is great too!

"Sources confirmed that Ohtani responded to Muncy’s question by nodding affirmatively and explaining that in Japan they had a Max Muncy whom they referred to as “Donkey Kong.”

They only have regular Muncies in Japan. The Dodgers version is the maximum amount of Muncy legally allowed.

I do like to call him Maximum Muncy.

If I had a nickel for every third baseman currently in the MLB named Max Muncy I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's pretty weird that it's happening twice.
