A legal battle is unfolding over ownership of Shohei Ohtani's 50th home run ball, which is set to be auctioned with an opening bid of $500,000. A teen from Broward has filed a lawsuit claiming the ball was stolen from him at a Marlins game, temporarily halting the sale. However, a judge has allowed the auction to proceed as planned. This high-profile case highlights the complexity of ownership rights in sports memorabilia, as both the Florida man and the teen seek to stake their claim to the historic ball amidst growing public interest.
