Shohei Ohtani inducted one lucky fan into the six-figure club. That’s how much money one expert said the person who caught Ohtani’s historic 50-50 club home run baseball on Thursday could sell it for. “Just an incredible piece of history,” Dillon Kohler of SCP Auctions told NBC Local. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s $300,000-plus, maybe even over half a million dollars.
“I think that there’s collectors and fans alike out there that would love to have this ball, have that in their possession for their collection. Now is the time to get that on the market as soon as possible.” Ohtani entered the game needing two home runs and one stolen base to become the first member of the 50-50 club. He stole his 50th base of the season after hitting a single in the first inning and then homered in the sixth and seventh innings.
