Dodgers Fan Who Caught Shohei Ohtani HR to Get On-Field Experience After Controversy

The Dodgers fan who grabbed Shohei Ohtani's first-ever home run in an L.A. uniform will be invited back to Dodger Stadium for an on-field experience, per Sam Blum of The Athletic.

That news emerged one day after the fan, Ambar Roman, and her husband, Alexis Valenzuela, told Blum about a less-than-pleasant experience with Dodger security personnel, who allegedly pressured Roman to give up the ball for an underwhelming offer and also separated her from her husband in the process.

Roman also told Blum that the Dodgers said they would refuse to authenticate the ball should she decide to take it home.
