[@sportsavant2937]

Give Shohei credit. He is the reason these sports talk show talk about MLB.

[@neerajnongmaithem392]

Dodgers offered 300k usd as per sources, that ball worth way more then that. In japan you easily get over 1M for it.

[@Spacegip0]

It can go 2m if you sell it in Japan.

[@armuk]

big in japan

[@SuperCatacata]

Yeah, the market for this ball is bigger than any baseball before it. A lot of rich fans in Japan.

[@sgu2693]

Yeah, cap, jersey, shoes, batting helmet, batting and pitching gloves, signed jersey, signed balls, signed caps, signed bats, season tickets with suites for 3 seasons, world series tickets 🎟, and photo ops with Goatoni, would seal the deal for me if i caught the ball.

[@elementsk8erq]

1 million could buy you all that and so much more 😂

[@sgu2693]

@elementsk8erq Yeah true that!

[@licn8511]

3+million after 2years!

[@KaesOner]

The guy who got that ball literally just won the lottery. 😮

[@TruthBeTold121212]

No argument and speculation - a wealthy Japanese fan will easily pay over 2 million.

[@KaesOner]

That 50-50 ball if it was at the Dodgers stadium would have caused a stampede of people scrambling for that ball. Wouldnt have been a pretty site 😅

[@baosommurr4566]

Judge 62hr went for 1.3m This will be atleast that 🤑🤑

[@Brett733]

ya, especially because the Asian market interest brings in more buyers.

[@EmptyWendyBag]

It will be way more than 1.3 especially since he’s an Asian player

[@markk2745]

Could be. If only the double in first was a HR or he made it to 3rd for the cycle tripple it would have been the best hitting game ever. Not saying it isn't but its very close and hard to judge. The performance and timing of having such a great game at the time your breaking an historic record is certainly valuable. Having said all that Id sell that ball fast because its life changing money that could go down. I'm talking about his 50th hr ball. The 51st is probably worth 20% of that.

[@johnpaul4435]

​@markk2745 what if he catches fire and hit 60 hr for the season. He hit one today at 52 already

[@nateg7100]

@@johnpaul4435 They'll probably rest him for the final games

[@tommayrant2279]

Shohei could go 60-60 in the future.

[@nateg7100]

Probably not once he starts pitching again. This offensive outbreak is due largely to not pitching this season.

[@estern001]

I would give him first right of refusal.

[@guyhealy5999]

As a big Shohei fan, I would hope that if Shohei wants the baseball he matches or even doubles the rediculaous market value to buy it. He can afford it. But, if he does not want to buy it I hope he just offers to autograph it for the fan. I guess that would greatly increase the value.

[@nateg7100]

The 55-55 ball might be worth more. He can get there if they don't rest him after they clinch the division.

[@GrahamCStrouse]

Nah, Americans like round numbers.

[@Johnfisher12345]

@GrahamCStrouse Correct. Round numbers for milestones, and the exact ball for record breakers. Once you surpass the existing record and set a new one, the most valuable balls will be the round decade numbers and the final one to be hit that establishes the new record going forward.

[@rickdeckard9810]

Should try to get the matching base then would be worth much more.

[@Piper_John]

I'd tell him where to find the auction listing. Hope he wins.

[@VickieSmith-d7d]

The Greatest God on earth.

[@torpedohost]

greatest irish baseball player of all time O'tani we rooting for you

[@DerangedHobbit]

I'd give it to him for a photo and a handshake. Its his ball and I would have just been lucky to have held it.

[@Johnfisher12345]

Right. You’d turn down $500k-1 million for a handshake and a photo. Sure. We all believe you, I promise!

[@DerangedHobbit]

@@Johnfisher12345 Not everyone in the world is a mercenary.

[@littlesame]

MLB collected them all the accessories last night

[@johnchieze530]

with 8 games remaining ohtani's at 52-52. sounds like science fiction but there's chatter about #17 challenging 60-60

[@nateg7100]

They might rest him for the final games though. Once the division is clinched there's no reason to keep the starters out there.

[@Johnfisher12345]

@nateg7100 That just doesn’t happen like you think it does, young and healthy DHs especially. There’s exactly zero chance he will be benched even once this year.

[@JBro79]

well it sold for 4.39 million dollars. There's nothing the Dodgers could trade me that would have been worth that. If FORCED to trade, I would have to go with a jersey signed by the entire team.

[@aad4186]

I don't think people know how big baseball is in japan. And there are a lot of rich old Japanese man who would pay a crap ton for that ball

[@igreenthoseee]

Something else on his body is crazy 😂

[@Yyyyyyy44]

What's the worth of my 1972 grand slam ball that turned a 3-2 deficit into a 6-3 win?

[@Johnfisher12345]

What level are we talking about here? Little league? Local men’s league? Sandlot game?

[@l.rongardner2150]

Lots of free meal coupons at Ohtani's favorite sushi restaurant.

[@cstellaria3000]

10 Million USDollars

[@mii2good]

Dodgers offered the fan 300k, keep that as minimum

[@bdnguyen]

PED Mcgwire's tainted 70th HR ball went for $3M.

[@NatTurnerswitBurnerz]

It wasn't "tainted" at the time. Who knows? Maybe we'll find out in the future this is tainted, too.

[@LinkRocks]

Grow up.

[@zhc2200]

​@@NatTurnerswitBurnerzThat's a compliment of the highest order. 😂😂😂

[@neerajnongmaithem392]

Test too tight and their is just too much to lose. ​@@NatTurnerswitBurnerz

[@rossw5576]

Thanks. I needed a good laugh.

[@GrahamCStrouse]

Ohtani’s amazing. So many people who’d lost internet in baseball after the strike in the ‘90s and the steroid scandal in the ‘00s are starting to watch the game again. He’s making baseball fun again.

[@Johnfisher12345]

I lost my internet during a baseball game once.. reset my router and all was well again.

[@momentary_]

If Shohei reaches 55/55 or 60/60, will that affect the value of the 50/50 ball?

[@Johnfisher12345]

Being that it’s also associated with an historic game in its own right, I would say possibly some, but probably not a whole lot.

[@tinsu629]

60/60 will, but 55/55 won't.

[@byvictorrr190]

i would get a top lawyer to get the most amount of money i could get. remember these professional athletes are millionaires

[@darwinthecat]

I would take $5000/month for the next 20 years and I’m good…after taxes. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@nateg7100]

You'd lose a lot to inflation that way. Your $5,000 payments in 10 or 20 years will be worth like $500. Better to take the lump sum and put it in a high interest savings account.

[@fallbakjonez1348]

Big goof

[@2011sliverdude]

Shohei and Aaron Judge creating millionaires 😅

[@TheMisfits7783]

MCGUIRE AND SOSA HR BALLS CREATED A TOY COMPANY IT WASNT ABOUT THE COLLECTORS VALUE IT WAS TO SHOW THE MLB HE WAS SERIOUS ABOUT SPORTS THEN HE GOT THE RIGHTS TO MAKE MLB TOYS THEN NBA, NFL,NHL AND NOW THE BEST TOY COMPANY IN THE WORLD

[@timower5850]

Auction it off. Don't be a fool.

[@nateg7100]

Good idea to sell it before he has another 50-50 season or 60-60

[@guyhealy5999]

There will be an asteisk on all of his records! And there should be. This is not fair. It is not a level playing field. Clearly, he is not human! It will always be referred to as the Unicorn asterisk.

[@TheDevnul]

I would not hold on to it. I want 10 year VIP box and a Porsche!

[@dukec2255]

Need more than that for the 50/50 Ball and greatest baseball game of all time.

[@takezoaudio]

hold onto the ball for 10+ years...

[@Brett733]

nah, take a mill and run. I would take a mill now rather than 3 mill in 10 years.

[@takezoaudio]

[@Brett733]

@@takezoaudio What if he gets to 55/55 or 60/60 then what?

[@takezoaudio]

@@Brett733 i think the 50/50 ball will command as much as the 55/55 ball. only a 60/60 ball will surpass it in the minds of collectors imo.

Better sell it quick because he’s going 55 and 55. Then it’ll be worth less

[@Kingofthehill84]

Not really because of the record breaking ball.

[@CoatHangaStrangla]

No it won't. Dude went 6 for 6 with 3 HR, 10 RBI & 2 stolen bases in a historic outing and also joined his own 50/50 club in the same night. That ball is history literally and figuratively.

Congratulations Shohei Ohtani 🇯🇵🎌⚾️🧢 What I like about this accomplishment is Shohei Ohtani is a foreigner, Japanese, who made Major League Baseball history, American history. Oh by the way Ohtani is making American money too 🇺🇸💵 For all you right wing wackos out there, this is an immigrant that made history, this is an immigrant that’s making American money $700M. What I also like about this accomplishment is that foreigners, immigrants are hungry to work, foreigners immigrants have great work ethics. 🇯🇵🇯🇵🎌 I’m glad that a foreigner, an immigrant made American history while making American money. 🇺🇸💵 Thank you Shohei Ohtani. 🇯🇵🇯🇵🎌⚾️🧢 America: The Land of Opportunity. 🇺🇸🗽
