Shohei Ohtani’s 50th home run ball can be sold, judge says. But who will pocket the cash?

The auction and sale of Shohei Ohtani’s 50th home run ball will proceed as planned.

The historic ball, which made the Dodgers superstar the first MLB player to have 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season, is already on its way to fetching almost $2 million.

It remains to be seen who will pocket all that cash.

The individuals involved in litigation over ownership of the historic ball have agreed to allow Goldin Auctions to continue with its sale of the item, and then allow the courts to decide which of them will receive the proceeds from the sale.
