Shohei Ohtani 50-50 home run ball up for auction NECN [Video]

How much is Shohei Ohtani’s historic 50-50 home run ball worth?

We’re about to find out.

The baseball that the Dodgers superstar and two-time AL MVP hit for his historic 50th home run of the season is going up for auction later this month.

Ohtani sent the ball over the outfield fence in a Sept. 19 game for the ages against the Miami Marlins, becoming the first player in MLB history to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a season. In what’s widely considered one of the greatest single-game performances of all time, Ohtani went 6-for-6 with three home runs, two doubles and a staggering 10 RBI in a Dodgers rout that was mind-boggling, even for Ohtani’s high standards.

The ball triggered a scrum among fans, one of whom came up with the high-value home run ball. Ohtani entered the game needing two home runs and one stolen base to reach the 50-50 mark.
