  • The baseball that officially gave Shohei Ohtani an unprecedented 50/50 season just hit the auction block and its starting bid is $500,000!!
  • The lucky fan who caught the ball earlier this month at the Dodgers vs. Marlins game in Miami reached out to the auction experts directly at Goldin to oversee the sale.
  • The company said in a statement that while the starting bid for the ball is half a mil, fans can purchase it outright for a staggering $4.5 million.
  • "If bidding reaches $3,000,000 prior to October 9 however," Goldin officials wrote, "the option to purchase privately will no longer be available, and interested parties must compete and bid for the baseball."
  • Ohtani made history with that hit, marking the first time in MLB history that a player had reached 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases.
