Shohei Ohtani News: 50th Home Run Ball Sells For Record Price
As the auction proceeded into an extended bidding period Tuesday night, the final sale price of the baseball Shohei Ohtani hit for his 50th home run of the season grew higher.
By the time the bidding ended, Goldin Auctions announced the final price as a record for any baseball ever sold at auction: $3.6 million, or $4,392,000 including the buyer’s premium.
On Sept. 19, Ohtani hit three home runs to become the first member of baseball’s 50-50 club — 50 home runs and 50 stole bases in the same season. He stole his 50th base in the same game, part of a 6 for 6, 10-RBI performance against the Miami Marlins.

Ohtani finished the season with 54 home runs and 59 steals for the Dodgers. He also led the National League in runs (134), RBIs (130), on-base percentage (.390), and slugging (.646), making him the runaway favorite for the league’s MVP award.
The Dodgers host the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday.
