Got my Ohtani jersey and interesting things happened during Dodgers vs. Giants (spoilers)

[pRICE cUBE]

My Ohtani jersey was delivered and Ohtani hit his first Dodgers homer. Coincidence? Perhaps.

[N-OS X-tasy!]

Interesting things always happen when the Dodgers play the Giants in L.A.

The things I'm referring to, you wouldn't want to be associated with. I'm sure you're familiar with what happened to Brian Stow a few years ago, as an example.

This is all anybody needs to know.

The fan that caught that homer must be quite happy! Or, maybe not…

There is a very established process when a fan catches a milestone home run, such as Shohei Ohtani's first homer with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The ball legally belongs to the fan, who is quickly escorted from their seat so team officials can speak with them and work out what it will take for the fan to part with the ball. Sometimes, all it takes is a little signed memorabilia; other times, cold hard cash. Crucially, it is within the fan's rights to take the ball and go home.

This practice goes back decades, but the Dodgers couldn't avoid unnecessary drama when it happened with Ohtani's homer on Thursday.

The fan who caught Ohtani's home run ball is a married, lifelong Dodgers fan named Ambar Roman, and she and her husband didn't sound very happy while speaking with The Athletic about how they were treated by the Dodgers after the home run ball ended up in her hands.

As Roman tells the story, she was escorted from the stands, separated from her husband and pressured into giving up the ball for next-to-nothing. She ultimately exchanged the ball for two signed hats, a signed ball and a signed bat. An auction house told The Athletic that the ball would be worth at least $100,000.

She'll be alright. I try to focus on what's important.
