Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star, is known for his respectful demeanor, including tipping his helmet to opposing managers. However, he stopped this tradition with San Diego Padres manager Mike Shildt due to a heated incident in June 2025. The rivalry between the teams escalated when a Dodgers rookie hit Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. with a pitch, leading to a bench-clearing brawl. Ohtani was later hit by a pitch, and he ceased his helmet tip to Shildt. With Shildts retirement, the animosity may now be in the past.
