Spectators who took the ball leave the stadium under guard
US media predicts “will put it up for auction”
‘McGuire No. 70’ sold for 4 billion won
Shohei Ohtani (LA Dodgers) hit his 50th home run of the season in the top of the 7th inning of the away game with Miami on the 20th, opening the door to the 50-home run-50-steal club for the first time in Major League Baseball (MLB) history. When this home run hit fell under the table in the outfield stands, the crowd gathered. In the end, the ball was caught by a ‘man in a black T-shirt’.
The Dodgers offered to trade the home run ball for various baseball items personally signed by Ohtani, but the man replied, “No, thank you.” He then left the stadium with the ball, escorted by security guards.
The American media is predicting that the man, whose identity has not yet been revealed, will put the ball up for auction. An official from the sports auction company ‘SCP Auction’ said, “The price will skyrocket as soon as the auction starts,” and “This man has the golden ticket.” The previous record for a baseball auction was $3,005,000 (about 4 billion won) for the ball that Mark McGwire hit his 70th home run of the season, the first in MLB history, in 1998.
However, if Ohtani opens the 60 home run-60 stolen base club in the remaining 9 games of the season, the price of this ball will inevitably be affected. CBS in the US reported, “This man will be the only person on earth praying that Ohtani will not open the door to the 60 home run-60 stolen base club.”
