Chris Russo makes the worst baseball argument of all time (Video)

Chris Russo recently made the worst baseball argument of all time on an episode of First Take.

Chris “Mad Dog” Russo is famously known for coming up with strong and often comically misguided sports opinions. On a recent episode of First Take with Molly Qerim and Stephen A. Smith, Russo took it to another level.

Essentially, he claimed that the final at-bat in the World Baseball Classic between Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani was not as big of a deal as the sports world was making it out to be.

Chris Russo is absolutely wrong

In case you missed it, what Russo is referring to, was the final out in the World Baseball Classic Final between Japan and the United States.

Trout has been proclaimed best player in baseball for quite some time, until Ohtani signed in MLB back in 2017 to become Trout’s teammate on the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

For the typical sports fan, it seemed almost as if it was a passing of the torch. To baseball fans, it was much deeper than words could describe. Russo has had a history of making outlandish statements when it comes to Ohtani.

Russo continues to make the worse baseball arguments of all time. The sad part about it all is he isn’t alone. There are still people out there who refuse to believe that Ohtani is the best player in baseball and when it’s all said and done, could be the greatest of all time. We’re witnessing greatness right in front of ours, and people like Russo still manage to make these ridiculous arguments.

It was indeed a huge moment for baseball. For at least one day, baseball was everywhere. On ESPN, and the internet. Those who truly love the game know what kind of monumental moment that final at-bat was.
