The most popular manga series in the world and Japan’s favorite MLB baseball team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, joined forces last night for One Piece Night , where Luffy took over Dodger Stadium with the rest of the Straw Hat crew. After the event, the official accounts for the series released many fun things, including live-action Nami actor Emily Rudd throwing the first pitch and the video shown on screens in the stadium.
