This Miami Marlins fan came so very close to snagging Shohei Ohtani’s milestone 50-50 home run ball.
On Thursday, Ohtani became the first MLB player to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a season, a miraculous feat for one of the best baseball players to ever take the field. Ohtani hit multiple home runs during the Los Angeles Dodgers’ absolute trouncing of the Miami Marlins, but none were bigger than the seventh inning blast that sealed the deal.
This one Marlins fan, however, missed a chance at holding history after Ohtani’s home run ball fell within inches of his grasp before bouncing away.
This fan was SO CLOSE to grabbing Ohtani's 50/50 ball 🥲
