Second Fan Files Lawsuit Over Shohei Ohtani's 50-50 Home Run Ball

Joseph Davidov claims he had possession of the historic baseball before it was taken by another fan.

  • Joseph Davidov has filed a lawsuit in Florida's 11th Judicial Circuit Court, claiming ownership of Shohei Ohtani's 50th home run ball.
  • The baseball, currently valued at $1.464 million, is subject to another lawsuit filed by Max Matus, who also claims possession.
  • Davidov alleges he securely grabbed the ball before another fan jumped on him, causing the ball to roll into the hands of Chris Belanski.
  • A court ruling has delayed the sale of the ball through Goldin Auctions until a hearing scheduled for October 10.
  • Matus, who was celebrating his 18th birthday, also claims Belanski forcibly took the ball from him during the scramble in the stands.
