The ball that soared into the left-field stands at loanDepot Park in Miami to make Shohei Ohtani the sole member of MLB's 50-50 club is going up for auction this week.
Goldin, an auction house based in New Jersey, will open bidding on the historic piece of baseball memorabilia on Friday. The opening bid is $500,000. Potential buyers will have the opportunity to purchase the ball for $4.5 million through Oct. 9, one week before the auction is scheduled to end.
Should bidding reach $3 million before Oct. 9, the $4.5 million buy-it-now option will disappear.
