A Florida teen files a lawsuit over the Shohei Ohtani 50-50 home run ball set for auction.
A lawsuit to prevent the auction of the historic home run ball hit by Dodger Shohei Ohtani claims an 18-year-old fan attending the game on his birthday had the baseball taken away by a"muscular, older man."A valuable piece of sports memorabilia is at the center of lawsuit filed by a fan who claims he's the rightful owner of Shohei Ohtani's 50-50 home run ball.
Matus was in the left-center field crowd when Ohtani's second of three home runs in a game for the ages cleared the wall, the lawsuit said. Matus claimed he grabbed the ball,"successfully obtaining possession" of what would become a valuable piece of sports memorabilia, according to the lawsuit. "Indeed, Max successfully grabbed the 50/50 Ball in his left hand and intended to keep it," according to the lawsuit."Unfortunately, a few seconds later… a muscular, older man – trapped Plaintiff’s arm in between his legs and wrangled the 50/50 Ball out of Max's left hand. In so doing, wrongfully and forcefully obtained control of the ball and was escorted out of the stands by security.
