The baseball that officially gave Shohei Ohtani an unprecedented 50/50 season has just hit the auction block … but if you don’t have deep pockets, you won’t have a shot at getting it — because its starting bid is $500,000!!
Goldin revealed on Wednesday afternoon it’ll oversee the sale … after the man who caught it earlier this month at the Dodgers vs. Marlins tilt in Miami reached out to the auction experts directly.

The company said in a statement that while the get-in price for the ball is half a mil … fans can purchase it outright for a staggering $4.5 million.
“If bidding reaches $3,000,000 prior to October 9 however,” Goldin officials wrote, “the option to purchase privately will no longer be available, and interested parties must compete and bid for the baseball.”
