Shohei Ohtani<\/a> is in a league of his own.<\/p>\n\n

The Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> superstar registered a career day at the plate on Thursday, all the while setting a record that most baseball purists never thought could happen.<\/p>\n\n

Ohtani hit his 49th<\/sup>, 50th<\/sup>, and 51st<\/sup> home runs and stole his 50th<\/sup> and 51st<\/sup> base of the season to become the first-ever member of the 50-50 club.<\/p>\n\n

To commemorate this rare feat, Topps NOW\u00ae has released special cards that are on sale now at topps.com. Along with base cards of Ohtani, there are ultra-rare redemptions for on-card autographs numbered to \/5 or 1\/1 inscribed \u201c50\/50 Club 9\/19\/24,\u201d Steal\/Homerun Image Variation Short Prints, and Curtain Call Image Variation Super Short Prints. There are also base card parallels randomly inserted from \/99 black, \/49 blue, \/25 purple, \/10 red, \/5 orange, and \/1 gold. <\/p>\n\n

Ohtani went a historic 6-for-6 with the three homers, 10 RBIs, 17 total bases, four runs scored, and two stolen bases in the Dodgers\u2019 20-4 romp of the Miami Marlins<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Oakland A\u2019s slugger Jose Canseco set the bar and did the unthinkable, creating the 40-40 club in 1988. No one ever thought any player could establish a 50-50 club. But Ohtani \u2014 a two-way phenomenon at the plate and on the mound \u2014 has shown he isn\u2019t just any player. <\/p>\n\n

In his first season with the Dodgers after six years with the Los Angeles Angels<\/a>, Ohtani is well on his way to winning his third career MVP award. This is by far Ohtani\u2019s best season in the big leagues. He\u2019s racked up career highs in home runs (51), RBIs (120), doubles (34), hits (176), runs scored (123), and WAR (7.3). <\/p>\n\n

With nine regular-season games left on the Dodgers\u2019 schedule, Ohtani can continue to pad his stats before heading into his first postseason appearance.<\/p>\n\n
