Goldin- Everyone knew what was at stake.
Everyone knew what was within reach for a player whose rise to greatnesseven dominancehas been unprecedented.
Just no one knew how he would achieve it.
If Ohtani got struck by lightning and died since hitting 50, I would understand.
And if that happened upon impact of the 50th home run ball, it would make even more sense.
But he’s still very much alive.
So what makes this ball so special?
A combination of things in my opinion
1.
He’s the first player in history to go 50 homers and 50 steals in the same season.
There’s 150 years of professional baseball so that’s a big deal.
He went 6-6 with 10 RBI’s the night he hit 50.
Why not just get some abstract art that will appreciate 500-700% under the next administration alone?
Rich people are fucking crazy.
I refuse to entertain even the most basic, simple arguments towards the alternative.
I think Cards are different because of the risk/reward in buying and breaking a pack.
Like at least there’s a dopamine cycle you’re able to stand behind with your obsession.
Pokemon people are the same.
Card people, while different than me and maybe you, still make sense to me.
Silent Auction Folks are where you have to keep your head on a swivel.
These people cannot be trusted and I can’t say that enough.
Honus Wagner was awesome but that’s a different blog.
For now yo just bid responsibly.
