Not only is he the biggest star in\u00a0Major League Baseball, he has also become a global icon.<\/p>\n<p>Due to his massive popularity, the\u00a0MLB\u00a0has shown him some level of favoritism. He has earned some of that, but the league may be taking it too far.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the MLB official X account made a post about Ohtani&#8217;s home run in the third inning against the\u00a0Washington Nationals.
