Shohei Ohtani became the first MLB player to have 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season last month.
The home run ball that gave the Dodgers superstar that distinction has set a record of its own.
Goldin Auctions announced Tuesday night that the coveted collectible sold for $4.392 million, an amount that far surpasses any sum paid for a baseball. The previous record was $3.05 million, which was paid in 1999 for Mark McGwire’s 70th home run ball from the previous season.
