Rob Lowe had a vaguely erotic encounter with Ohtani.

3 HRs, 2 Doubles, 1 Single, and 2 Stolen Bases. 51-51…Karla’s having a good time tonight…

I assume that bat is headed straight to the HoF?
-
On one of his home runs, the pitcher threw him a batting practice ball. I mean he barely even wound up. Not sure about the others.
Edit: I see the pitcher at the end that gave up the third HR was a position player. It was a blowout so the opposite team wasn't using a real pitcher anymore.
Education is extremely important.

Legal battle over the ball… Estimates are the ball is worth up to $4 Million… https://www.npr.org/2024/09/27/nx-s1-5130841/shohei-ohtani-50-50-ball-auction-lawsuit-ownership

As you might have expected, I've done some major slow-mo analysis of it and in this case, the guy who ends up with the ball seems to have obtained it fair and square. Belanski (the guy who got it), doesn't seem to have taken it from Matus who was also going for it on the ground. Seems fair.
At the end of the day, the unofficial baseball fan rule is you have to hold the ball up and claim victory before it is yours. Until then, there will be mayhem until there's an owner.
