Fan Who Left Dodger Stadium With Shohei Ohtani’s 40th Home Run Ball Reveals Offers From Bidders

Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani made history — again.

On Friday, Ohtani entered the Dodgers’ game against the Tampa Bay Rays with 39 home runs and 39 stolen bases. After stealing a base earlier in the game, his walk-off homer in the ninth inning made Ohtani the sixth MLB player and the first Dodger ever to join the 40/40 club.

The home run ball bounced back onto the field, but Rays center fielder Jose Siri threw the ball back into the crowd. Considering the value of Ohtani’s 40th home run ball, it was likely a chaotic pursuit for the history-making ball.
