Overview
- Dodgers fan David Flores, who caught the ball from Shohei Ohtani’s third homer in NLCS Game 4, declined a $2 million offer and consigned it to Goldin Auctions.
- The ball comes from Ohtani’s series‑clinching performance against the Brewers in which he went 3-for-3 with three home runs, drew a walk, and threw six shutout innings with 10 strikeouts.
- Ken Goldin says the piece could challenge the all‑time auction mark for a baseball, though he also cautioned the final price depends on bidder appetite.
- The current record is $4.4 million, set in October 2024 by the sale of Ohtani’s 50th home run ball from his 50–50 season.
- Goldin says the lot will open Dec. 23 to coincide with his Netflix series, with bidding running through the holidays into about mid‑January, and no sale has occurred yet.
