Shohei Ohtani (30, LA Dodgers)’ 50th home run ball will be auctioned off, which is the “superstar” Shohei Ohtani (30, LA Dodgers), who made the 50th (home run)-50 (steal).
According to U.S. media such as MLB.COM and Fox Sports on the 26th (Korea time), Ohtani’s 50-50 record will be entrusted to the collection marketplace Goldin, and bidding will begin on the 28th.
Ohtani made three home runs and two stolen bases in an away game against the Miami Marlins at Rondipo Park in Miami, Florida on the 20th.
Ohtani, who had 48 home runs and 49 steals in the season before the game, achieved an unanswered 50-50 great job in MLB.
Ohtani’s 50th home run of the season came in the seventh inning, and the crowd who caught the ball went out of the stands with club officials.
Afterwards, the Dodgers offered $300,000 (about 400 million won) in honorarium, but the spectator refused, and decided to auction it.
The minimum bidding price for Ohtani’s 50th home run ball is 500,000 U.S. dollars. If he offers 4.5 million dollars by October 10, he can immediately own it without competition.
Meanwhile, the most expensive home run ball ever sold at auction was Mark McGwire’s 70th home run for this season in 1998. At the time, the ball was sold for 3.05 million U.S. dollars.
Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees, who set the American League (AL) home run record in 2022, was sold for $1.5 million (2 billion won). 안전놀이터
