After six seasons and two MVP awards with the Angels, Shohei Ohtani shook up the baseball world with a monumental move to the Los Angeles Dodgers ahead of the 2024. In his debut campaign under the bright lights of L.A., Ohtani put together one of the finest baseball seasons of all time, establishing the 50/50 club en route to winning N.L. MVP. The month’s Premier Auction provides an opportunity to own a piece of that history-making season, with the 47th home run ball of Shotime’s record-setting campaign on offer here.
Ohtani became the first player to hit 47 homers and steal 47 bases in a season when he deposited a hanging breaking ball from Jordan Wicks into the right-centerfield seats in the bottom of the first inning on September 11, 2024. The two-way phenom would finish up the regular season with 54 home runs and 59 stolen bases before helping the Dodgers win the World Series in his first taste of the postseason.
Shohei Ohtani is a generational talent, the likes of which baseball has never seen. And his 2024 season will go down as one of the most incredible sports feats of all time. Players like him and seasons like that might only come around once in a lifetime. The same goes for opportunities to own a piece of history as magnificent as this home run ball.
