A quartet of Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> items sold at California-based SCP Auctions for just under $900,000 over the weekend, including the 2025 World Series Game 7 tying and winning home run balls caught by father-and-son duo John and Matthew Bains.<\/p>\n

Miguel Rojas<\/a> ‘ Game 7-tying home run ball sold for $156,000, and Will Smith<\/a>‘s Game 7-winning home run ball sold for $168,000; both prices included buyer’s premium. Shohei Ohtani<\/a> ‘s 2025 National League Championship Series Game 4 home run — which left Dodger Stadium — sold for $270,000, also including premium.<\/p>\n

Editor’s Picks<\/a><\/p>\n

In the same auction, a bat Ohtani used during his 2024 50\/50 MVP season, photo-matched to five home runs in a 12-game stretch from late August to early September by PSA Photo Match, sold for $300,000 including premium.<\/p>\n

After years of being undervalued in the collectibles space, Ohtani is finally having his day. Ohtani’s first $1 million card sale came in March when a collector paid $1.067 million for a one-of-one numbered, on-card autographed card featuring the MLB logo from Ohtani’s pants worn while hitting his 49th, 50th and 51st home runs of the 2024 season. A collector paid $542,900 for another one-of-one numbered and signed Ohtani card earlier this month.<\/p>\n

The ownership of Ohtani’s 50\/50 home run ball that Taiwanese investment company UC Capital made the most expensive baseball of all time at $4.39 million last October is still being litigated — including a name correction for one of the original claimants — in the 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida court, with a hearing scheduled for Jan. 13.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dan HajduckyNov 23, 2025, 05:56 PM ET CloseDan Hajducky is a staff writer for ESPN.
