Shohei Ohtani's Historic Milestone

In an exciting development for sports memorabilia collectors, the legendary Shohei Ohtani's 50/50 home run ball is heading to auction at Goldin, with bidding scheduled to kick off this Friday. As the only player in baseball's storied history to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season, Ohtani has made a remarkable mark in the game. He achieved this milestone in a single electrifying game against the Miami Marlins on September 19, where he remarkably hit three home runs and stole two bases.

The Auction Process

Ken Goldin, the founder and CEO of Goldin, shared with ESPN that the consignment process was seamless. The anonymous owner of the ball reacted quickly after Ohtani achieved his 50th home run, reaching out to Goldin through social media. A security representative was dispatched to Miami within days to ensure the ball's safe transfer.
