An 18-year-old from Florida says he had possession of Ohtani's 50th home run ball and claims another fan at the game stole it from him.Bidding started at $500,000 with the auction running through October 16The home run hit by Ohtani on September 19 when Dodgers beat the Florida Marlins made him the only player in baseball history to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in the same season.
"It has a hologram on the baseball that they fixed at the stadium, and it also has the secret markings that you see on the baseball that they only used those baseballs when they were pitching to Shohei." The complaint continues to read "However, shortly after he obtained possession, wrapped his legs around Max's arm and used his hands to wrangle the ball out of Max's hand, stealing the ball for himself."
"Once the ball comes into the stands, and into the spectators, regular law of Florida applies," said Uustal. "And if somebody has possession of something, someone else can't take it by force."
