"Controversy Surrounding Shohei Ohtani's First Dodgers Home Run Ball"

Los Angeles Dodgers fans who caught Shohei Ohtani's first home run for the franchise felt disappointed by the treatment they received from the organization, claiming they were pressured and possibly swindled by team security and staff. The lucky recipient of Ohtani's home run ball, Amber Roman, and her husband were separated by stadium staff and not allowed to communicate during negotiations with the team over the ball's return. Despite initially being offered signed hats, they were able to negotiate for a signed bat and ball, but felt the items received were undervalued compared to the estimated worth of the historic ball.
