Shohei Ohtani reversed the Tungsten Arm O’Doyle meme in the Dodgers’ World Series win

Is the Tungsten Arm O’Doyle curse lifted?

How’s that for a way to win a ring?

For years while on the Los Angeles Angels, Shohei Ohtani would do amazing, miraculous things and the team would somehow continue to lose. It inspired a meme back in 2021 — @matttomic posted on X (formerly Twitter) this statement: “every time I see an Angels highlight it’s like “Mike Trout hit three homes runs and raised his average to .528 while Shohei Ohtani did something that hasn’t been done since ‘Tungsten Arm’ O’Doyle of the 1921 Akron Groomsmen, as the Tigers defeated the Angels 8-3′”

Ever since then, a “Tungsten Arm O’Doyle game” became a thing, even when he joined the Dodgers.

But Ohtani struggled mightily in the World Series and hurt his shoulder. Yet the Dodgers still won. What do we make of that? Let’s go to @matttomic and some others:

 

Yep.
