The lawsuit claims Matus, a Florida resident who was celebrating his 18th birthday at LoanDepot Park, gained possession of the ball Ohtani hit for his 50th home run on Sept. 19 before another man, Chris Belanski, took it away. “Max successfully grabbed the 50/50 ball in his left hand and intended to keep it,” the lawsuit stated.
Ramirez attended the game with Belanski. Goldin Auctions, Belanski and Ramirez are named in the lawsuit filed by John Uustal, the attorney representing Matus. Ohtani's home run against the Miami Marlins gave him 50 homers and 50 stolen bases in the same season, making him the first member of the 50-50 club. The opening bid for the ball is $500,000.
