For lifelong Dodgers fans Ambar Roman and her husband, Alexis Valenzuela, the thrill of seeing a historic baseball during an MLB game became a nightmare. Roman had tension and pressure following Shohei Ohtani’s first Dodger home run.
According to tradition, the team or batter and the fortunate fan frequently negotiate when a fan snags a big home run ball. Roman and Valenzuela, however, contend that the Dodgers security personnel put a lot of pressure on them and even split up the couple, rather than having a civil conversation.
“They really exploited her. Many guys were gathered around her. – Valenzuela Alexis.
According to reports, the Los Angeles Dodgers first only offered two caps signed by Ohtani, even though the ball was thought to be worth at least $100,000. Feeling trapped and powerless, Roman finally consented to a package deal that included an autographed ball and bat. She expressed dismay at the lack of transparency about authentication, which is an important aspect in establishing the mamabilia’s value.
“They didn’t want him to influence my decision, at least that’s how I took it.” – Said Roman when security officers had separated them.
Although there was no actual conversation between Shohei Ohtani and the fan following the game, it appeared to be hinted at.
Shohei Ohtani appeared to imply that he had spoken with Roman following the game. He may have said such things, but the couple claimed they had never met Ohtani. Ohtani’s integrity is called into doubt by this purported inconsistency, which has generated a great deal of controversy—especially in the midst of his inquiry into his potential involvement in an illicit gambling scandal.
