Dodgers Management Screws Up Ohtani's 1st Homer in LA

[Lucas00]

Ohtani could easily fix this himself as well. He makes 100k with his new deal in, I'm not joking, 2 and a half innings. He could've told the dodgers to write that 100k check for the fan with a few claps.
With what players are making you have to be insane to give something like this up. They can buy it with 30 minutes of their time just sitting on a bench.

Can't wait for this headline at the end of the year.


"Fan Catches Last Home Run Hit At The Oakland Coliseum. Athletics Owner John Fisher Threatens Lawsuit. Demands It Be Returned Out of Loyalty To The Team."

I'm not sure I see the connection to the Gestapo.

Read post 4. You’re really going to bitch at me for not thinking MLB teams are comparable to the Gestapo? Go ahead

They (plural, people in the Dodgers organization) take the woman behind closed doors, somewhere within Dodger Stadium, separated from her husband, grill her about the ball, offer trinkets in comparison to it's potential worth, threatening to not authenticate the ball if she doesn't cooperate and give it to them for a few more trinkets. Perhaps they weren't going to take her out and shoot her, but other than that, how is this not Nazi Gestapo tactics? If you can offer some clarity, I will change my synonymous take on this.

It is rather frightening how people seem to have forgotten what Nazism in actual reality was and did. Remind me when the Gestapo declined to authenticate memorabilia as one of their trademark cruel tactics? Remind me when they tried to trade game tickets for more valuable goods?

The Gestapo is not any tactic I don’t like. Nazism is not any idea I don’t like. Giving the most wildly extreme hot take to compare what I don’t like to the Nazi’s is stupidity and beyond ignorant.

They could but I don't think you can appreciate just how cheap the Dodgers are with their employees and ex players alike.

100%. Expecting an average Joe or Jane to forego what is, in essence, a lottery win is, as you said, insane.
