For one fan who was in attendance for the Japanese superstar's record-breaking home run, Ohtani's success may deliver a multimillion-payday.
The starting bid for the historic ball — the most valuable from Ohtani's incredible 6-for-6, 3-home-run and 10 RBI performance — is $500,000.
The auction will run from Sept. 27 to Oct. 9, with extended bidding taking place on Oct. 16.
The $3 million figure represents the highest price ever paid for a baseball when Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball sold in 1999.
If you don't have several million dollars to bid on Ohtani's home run ball, don't worry.
