Yoshi’s recent appearance in Major League Baseball was a fun surprise for fans of the Mario games, but it’s not the first time we’ve seen gaming and anime influence major sports.
In 2025, Dodger Stadium made history by hosting its first-ever livestream performance featuring VTubers. Meanwhile, the popular game Umamusume: Pretty Derby surprisingly showed up in the world of the NFL when the Seattle Seahawks shared a widely popular post with characters from the game.
