The ownership fight over Shohei Ohtani’s historic 50/50 home-run ball

Puck reports that the battle for Ohtani’s ball played out over 18 highly contested seconds on a Miami bar floor—seconds it says may end up being worth more than $4.3 million. The homer made Ohtani the first player in baseball history to reach 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season. Puck describes the ball’s ownership as murky and compares the issue to a court battle over who owns rooftop views of Chicago Cubs games.
