On Saturday afternoon, Shohei Ohtani hit his 200th Major League Baseball home run, marking another milestone in his remarkable career. The home run ball ended up in the hands of a Tigers fan during the Dodgers-Tigers game in Detroit.

Erik Wynkoop, the lucky fan who caught the historic ball, shared his experience with Bally Sports during the game broadcast. He explained that the ball bounced near him, and he managed to catch it.

Despite the ball's likely significant value, Wynkoop seemed indifferent about its importance. Speaking with reporter Trevor Thompson, he expressed a willingness to part with the ball if Ohtani wanted it. "It’s just a ball," he said.

While the future of the ball remains uncertain, Wynkoop’s relaxed attitude towards the valuable keepsake adds an interesting layer to the story. As Ohtani continues to achieve new heights in his career, this fan's casual approach to owning a piece of baseball history provides a unique and memorable moment.
