The baseball that left loanDepot Park in Miami last Thursday for Shohei Ohtani’s 50th home run of the season will be auctioned off Friday.
Last Thursday, Ohtani became the first known player in the history of Major League Baseball to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in the same season. He achieved both milestones during the Dodgers’ 20-4 win over the Miami Marlins. Ohtani’s 6-for-6, 10-RBI performance is considered one of the greatest individual games in the history of the sport.
Now, the fan who retrieved the baseball after a prolonged struggled in the left field seats is looking to cash in on his piece of history.
