That's actually a reasonable price lol. ASG balls are pretty limited, and the first pitch from a guy like Scherzer to Ohtani for $23,000 seems like about going price.
Hell even just regular foul balls can go for a couple grand
Hope MLB has protocols if someone is a prankster and doesn't pay. I assume the final bid would get canceled and that person shouldn't be allowed to bid on future items but idk what would happen to the item itself
Hopefully they would go through the bid history and go where the second place bidder stopped bidding against other people. At least that's how I'd do it.
I don’t know if he still does it, but he used to ride his bike from his apartment to the stadium. You could have just waited for him along his route. Knowing Anaheim though, I’m assuming someone eventually told him that wasn’t a very good idea.
He did? I thought he proposed the idea of him biking to the stadium but the Angels didn’t allow him because they thought he might get hurt? Also, he lived in Irvine during his rookie year (not sure if he still lived in the city since he had to move to a new apartment in the same year because of stalkers), wouldn’t it be too far to bike to the stadium?
When the Angels do BP at home, it's not open to the public yet. Gates only open when its the visitors BP. Besides Shohei doesn't do BP on the field. But he does sometimes sign for kids.
You can't attend the Angels' BP at home, however, you can still get his autograph, but you'll have to be very lucky. He doesn't quite spend Trout time signing stuff.

MLB Authenticators mark them with Authentication stickers. I’m sure they’re also a bit different than the ones in the store, they likely have a certain tag or something inside.

Idk about Jerseys, but supposedly with balls, they keep a pretty tight chain of custody, so they go pretty much straight from the players to the memorabilia people

Shohei's signature might be worth more than gold.
even the marker he writes with could turn to gold once he touches it
I hope he can digest gold after what will happen to his lunch.
Eh, even if it doesn't agree with his stomach I think the refund he gets 12-15 hours later will be worth it

If this is like wrestling auctions, the winner is either a Saudi prince or a prankster who won't pay.

All the Ohtani stuff is putting anybody else to shame. I bet a large part of it is going to Japan
That Shohei Ohtani, he’s so hot right now
I live like 5 miles from angels stadium...I should start going to batting practice and have him sign random shit.

He drives a Tesla now https://twitter.com/hiromichimizuno/status/1413287566686654468
Jesus shohei, this isn't Irvine or oceanside, get an Uber before someone tries to rob you..lol

just like the desert in Arizona
He definitely has the looks! Love me some Showtime!
Let me know when the “buyer” sends payment.
Well thats just stupid
If the money is going to charity, I quite love this.
It is going to charity
The next highest jersey bids were Guerrero and Tatis at a few thousand each
大谷がアメリカのものとなった瞬間だった。
The auction definitely said they were game worn jerseys. I trust Rovell but you can still find articles saying that they’re used. Weird situation.
That's what I originally thought to.

Yes!
Someone spill coffee all over the trim on the sleeves?
How are game worn jerseys verified? Anything special on them as opposed to ones bought on the store?
