Additionally, another fan has joined the fray, asserting that he caught the ball first and is also seeking legal intervention. The situation has sparked multiple lawsuits aiming to stop the sale of the ball, with fans contesting its ownership amidst the brewing auction. As the auction date approaches, the courtroom drama intensifies over this valuable piece of baseball memorabilia.
