‘Il-Ohtani Home Run Ball, Should We Get 6 Billion’ Auction From the 27th, Chances Are Over 4 Billion After Maguire of Drugs
Shohei Ohtani (30), a Japanese baseball genius who became the first player to hit 50 homers and 50 steals in a single season in the Major League Baseball (MLB). Ohtani’s 50th home run ball, which has an unprecedented history, will be up for auction.
Japanese media, including Sports Nippon and Full Count, said on the 26th, “The U.S. auction house Goldin announced that it will auction off the 50th home run ball, which Ohtani hit 50 home runs and 50 steals for the first time in Miami and away games on the 20th.” Ohtani joined the 50-50 club at once by hitting three home runs and two steals on the road, and increased his record to 51-51.
Ohtani marked his 50th home run by drawing a two-run arch in the top of the seventh inning. It was a moment when a new milestone was set in baseball history with 50 stolen bases already.
After a scramble, a male fan found Ohtani’s 50th homerun ball in the stands. According to U.S. media, the Dodgers offered $300,000 (about 400 million won) in exchange for the ball, but the agreement was not reached. The male fan returned home with the ball.
According to Goldin, the auction will start at 500,000 U.S. dollars. If the auction is priced at 4.5 million dollars by October 10 (Korea time), it will be auctioned off immediately.
The highest ever in baseball history is a commemorative ball that Mark McGwire hit in his 70th home run for the first time in MLB back in 1998. The bid price was 3,500,000 U.S. dollars. However, Maguire is known to have taken banned drugs while he was active. Barry Bonds hit his 73rd home run in 2001, beating Maguire’s record, but Bonds was also not free from drugs.토토사이트 순위
“This will remain in baseball history and will continue for hundreds of years in the memory of fans and historians around the world,” Goldin CEO Ken Goldin said of Goldin’s 50th homer. Ohtani set a monumental milestone this season by exclusively batting.
