Keo Goldin made this announcement on Twitter a couple of days ago:
"The Winner of the Most Valuable Baseball of All-Time, the Shohei Ohtani 50th Home Run Ball, is a Corporation in Taiwan. They love Baseball and Shohei Ohtani." He also said the buyer's identity will be revealed after the World Series. Source

Funny...TSMC stock took a bit of a bump after that was announced. Does Ohtani also include "influencing the stock market", among his many skills? Already paid for that ball many times over.

The buyer was a Taiwanese investment firm, UC Capital.

There have been 2 bidders going at each other for the last hour trying to win the baseball Ohtani hit for a double in Game 1 of the World Series. Hard to believe one of them isn't the same investment company that bought the 50-50 baseball. Current bidding is at $300,000. MLB auctions have a five minute clock extension after every bid. This may go on for a while if both have unlimited funds and desire.
Rick https://dodgers.auctions.mlb.com/202...88#bid-history Actually closed at $302,000. Last edited by rlevy; 11-03-2024 at 08:21 PM. Reason: update on bids

Thanks for posting the link. When I first saw it the current high bid was 20-something thousand dollars, and I was amazed. But I guess when it comes to Ohtani, all bets go out the window. (No pun intended. Okay, maybe just a little.) Meanwhile, I was thinking that if he hit a home run in the World Series, that ball would be worth a million, at least. And since the sale of the 50/50 ball was just about a week earlier and presumably still fresh in the minds of even non-collectors, I can't imagine the Dodgers even pretending to make an offer to the fan who got it. (Heh... and if it had happened in Yankee Stadium, I wonder if whoever would have caught it might have gotten caught up in the heat of the moment and thrown it back... )
