Really good article on Ohtani’s absurdity today:
https://www.mlb.com/news/shohei-ohta...%20ever%20seen. From a tweet in the article: Since RBI became official in 1920, only one MLB player has had, over the course of his entire career (same game or not), a game with 10+ RBI a game with 6+ hits a game with 5+ XBH a game with 3+ HR a game with 2+ SB That one player is Shohei Ohtani. He did all of it today. |

I'd sell it direct to the team and/or player. But it'd be above what my lawyer says the auction house is starting the bids at.

"Look at my Chiefs Super Bowl ring!" "Oh wow, did you play for the Chiefs?" "Well, no but I bought this online from an ex practice squad guy" "Um, okay....cool" But, to be fair, people can obviously spend their money on whatever they want. I gamble and many people argue that is literally the stupidest way to spend money on the planet so....... |

But at the same time, would you take the Dodgers' offer of meeting Ohtani, taking an autograph bat and a chance to be on the field for batting practice? I don't know if that was the exact offer, but it's something to that effect. If you give it back, you're basically giving away a seven-figure baseball. Peer pressure is a bitch, too. Your friends are already in your ear, you can't give this back. I don't blame the fan at all. This situation falls in their lap by merely chance and within minutes, a Dodgers rep is trying to get the ball back from them. |

Historically, teams give pretty lowball offers for balls like that. For Mark McGwire’s (70th?), they offered the fan who caught it an autographed bat. IIRC, the fan said he’d give the ball to the team if he just got a chance to meet McGwire. McGwire said no, and the fan ended up selling the ball for 3 million.

If I have something of value nobody else gets it unless they pay me the market price of the item

Yep. Dude is very lucky this was the case and this wasn't at Dodger stadium.
The ball itself is already authenticated, with the MLB using specially marked balls after Ohtani hit his 49th home run. |
