Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani made history Thursday night by becoming the first Major League player to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season. He won’t be able to remember it with the home run ball, though.

Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reported that an unnamed fan decided to save Ohtani’s 50-50 baseball from the Dodgers’ 20-4 victory over the Miami Herald. Miami Marlins Thursday night at Depot Park.

Fans who catch historical baseballs usually return them to their teams in exchange for a nice bonus, but selling such an item on the market can be more valuable.

According to MLB.com, Aaron Judge’s 62nd home run hit during 2022 season sold for $1.5 million. But the most expensive baseball ever sold was Mark McGwire’s 70th home run baseball from 1998. It sold the following year for $3 million.

Mish noted that a special ball was used during Ohtani’s at-bat, meaning the baseball was real.

Another fan came close to catching the baseball (and potentially a big payday). The Marlins broadcast showed the fan just out of reach and missing the ball — not once, but twice. The man reached over after Ohtani hit the ball to left field and missed it. But the baseball bounced, giving him another chance. He missed again.

Ohtani hit three home runs and stole two bases against Miami en route to reaching the milestone. The win also secured the Dodgers a playoff spot.

“It was something I wanted to get over as quickly as possible. And you know, it’s something I’ll cherish for a long time,” Ohtani said through an interpreter after the game.
