00:00:00
it's time I lend my expertise to an
00:00:02
important case that requires my specific
00:00:05
set of skills I'm not a talented man
00:00:08
there's not many things I'd consider
00:00:09
myself a master of maybe coping with
00:00:11
having a patchy beard and below average
00:00:13
height but beyond that not much else
00:00:15
except for one thing and that's my
00:00:17
ability to analyze a video over and over
00:00:20
again to a level many would deem
00:00:22
unnatural there's a case going on right
00:00:24
now that I've been fascinated by all
00:00:26
afternoon LA Dodger Superstar sh otani's
00:00:30
50th home run ball is being auctioned by
00:00:32
the fan who left the stadium with it but
00:00:34
someone else who was part of that mad
00:00:36
Scramble for the ball says not so fast
00:00:39
Otani is one of the best to ever do it
00:00:41
period I'm not even a baseball fan and
00:00:44
even I am blown away by how good sh
00:00:46
Otani is and I'm sure most of you know
00:00:49
this he just set a record for hitting 50
00:00:51
home runs and 50 stolen bases in a
00:00:53
single season and that 50th home run
00:00:55
ball is now up for auction or up for
00:00:58
sale for 4.5
00:01:00
million stop the auction the true owner
00:01:04
of LA Dodger Superstar showy otani's
00:01:06
historic Homer is being challenged today
00:01:09
this 18-year-old in the red jersey
00:01:11
claims the ball was snatched out of his
00:01:14
hand in the tussle oh my God he's asking
00:01:17
a judge to Halt tomorrow's auction of
00:01:19
the ball which could fetch as much as
00:01:21
4.5 million bucks 4.5 million bones is
00:01:26
nothing to scoff at you could eat it
00:01:28
five guys for a whole month off of it
00:01:30
this is a ton of money and the
00:01:33
18-year-old in the red shirt is claiming
00:01:35
that he had the ball and the guy in the
00:01:37
black shirt wrestled it away from him
00:01:40
and stole it from him basically so he
00:01:42
wants the auction to stop he's opened a
00:01:45
lawsuit against him for it for battery
00:01:48
18-year-old Max Mattis says the ball was
00:01:51
taken from him as a result of civil
00:01:53
battery the accusation is being leveled
00:01:56
at fellow baseball fan Chris balansky
00:01:58
seen here in the black T-shirt the
00:02:00
lawsuit says the teen firmly had
00:02:03
possession of the ball but bansky
00:02:05
wrapped his legs around Max's arm and
00:02:08
used his hands to Wrangle the ball out
00:02:10
of Max's hand stealing the ball for
00:02:12
himself you be the judge I will be the
00:02:15
judge and the jury and the Executioner
00:02:18
if I find any fishy business in Foul
00:02:20
Play of foot here so I've gone through
00:02:22
every angle of this footage and I want
00:02:24
to share it with all of you because I
00:02:27
actually think he's wrong from
00:02:29
everything thing I've seen the guy in
00:02:30
the black shirt actually had the ball
00:02:32
first and then the guy in the red shirt
00:02:34
comes in and starts reaching for it let
00:02:37
me take you to exhibit a here the video
00:02:40
that you're seeing the end of in the
00:02:42
Inside Edition segment because it really
00:02:44
does at first glance look like the guy
00:02:46
in the black shirt kind of like cobras
00:02:48
his way around the kid's arm and like I
00:02:51
don't know scrambles to free it like
00:02:53
Houdini trying to get out of a box or
00:02:55
something like an escape artist get
00:02:58
it oh my go no
00:03:04
[Music]
00:03:04
[Applause]
00:03:11
[Applause]
00:03:15
way that was real time now let's slow it
00:03:18
down and start to enhance right now this
00:03:21
baseball is more valuable than a [ __ ]
00:03:23
Dragon Ball so everyone is scrambling
00:03:25
for it it's important to note that red
00:03:27
shirt has his phone in his right hand so
00:03:29
he's only going at this with one hand
00:03:31
and it's his left pause my fellow
00:03:34
detectives are you seeing what I'm
00:03:35
seeing look at this Eagle eyee his left
00:03:38
hand is planted on the table he does not
00:03:41
have the baseball in his possession
00:03:43
right now remember his phone is in his
00:03:45
right hand so he does not have it his
00:03:47
left hand is on the table you can see
00:03:49
blue shirt is [ __ ] flopping like a
00:03:52
fish over the the barrier here he's
00:03:54
diving for it he's he's letting It All
00:03:56
Hang Loose here he's putting it all on
00:03:58
the line he's risking it all I
00:03:59
appreciate the Hut butut from that
00:04:00
gentleman but he had no chance black
00:04:02
shirt is on the ball right now you can
00:04:06
see him wrapping up on top of it like
00:04:07
he's recovering a fumble so he is on top
00:04:10
of the ball right now and red shirt has
00:04:12
his left hand on the table let's step on
00:04:14
the gas here again so you see blue shirt
00:04:16
he's gone over the top right now he
00:04:18
[ __ ] flung himself over here like
00:04:20
that guy in the courthouse that threw
00:04:21
himself at the judge so he rag dolls his
00:04:23
body over he misses the baseball
00:04:25
entirely and now pause again red shirt
00:04:28
has now thrust his left hand into the
00:04:30
nut sack of black shirt trying to fish
00:04:32
around to find the baseball so he is
00:04:35
reaching down now trying to get his hand
00:04:38
on the baseball trying to grip it and
00:04:39
rip it from black shirt who we just saw
00:04:42
in the previous pause was already on top
00:04:45
of it while red shirt's left hand was on
00:04:46
the table you can see red shirt
00:04:48
desperately trying to pry the ball from
00:04:50
the paws of black shirt but those meaty
00:04:53
claws are not letting it go and red
00:04:55
shirt is no doubt getting a handful of
00:04:57
scrotum about to ask him to cough but
00:05:00
for $4.5 million I respect him like
00:05:03
going this hard for it sometimes you got
00:05:05
to try but it really does from
00:05:07
everything I see here show that black
00:05:09
shirt had the ball first covered up on
00:05:11
it and then red shirt saw an opportunity
00:05:13
to try and strike and get it but I think
00:05:16
the only thing he got was penis I don't
00:05:19
think he ever had possession of the ball
00:05:21
in everything I see in this video it
00:05:22
doesn't seem like he ever had it black
00:05:24
shirt then tells him he's got it and
00:05:26
that's when red shirt lets go
00:05:32
[Applause]
00:05:43
[Applause]
00:05:46
did this is another angle of it you can
00:05:49
see that red shirt is right where the
00:05:51
ball bounces off the table but because
00:05:53
he has his phone in his hand which was a
00:05:54
huge blunder if he didn't have his phone
00:05:56
in his hand I think red shirt gets that
00:05:58
ball easily but he has his phone in his
00:06:00
hand so he doesn't get it off the bounce
00:06:01
the ball hits the floor black shirt is
00:06:03
on top of it you can see red shirt is
00:06:05
still trying to get in to get the ball I
00:06:07
don't believe red shirt ever had the
00:06:09
50th home run from Otani I don't think
00:06:12
he ever had that ball in his hand from
00:06:14
everything I have scrub through on the
00:06:16
footage here and I went through it with
00:06:17
a fine tooth comb I damn near brought
00:06:19
the [ __ ] binoculars out on that I was
00:06:21
trying to go CSI on it where I was
00:06:22
enhance enhance and enhance enhance and
00:06:25
I don't see any moment where he beat
00:06:29
Black shirt to that ball or ever even
00:06:31
really had the ball the most compelling
00:06:33
part of it is when his left hand is on
00:06:35
the table while black shirt is already
00:06:37
on top of it I do think this plays out
00:06:39
very differently if red shirt had put
00:06:41
his phone in his pocket I think in that
00:06:43
situation he walks away with that ball
00:06:45
no questions asked that's uh that's
00:06:48
business right there baby that's kaput
00:06:50
that's the end of that chapter I think
00:06:52
he would have easily gotten that ball
00:06:54
cuz he is the first one to it but you
00:06:57
can see he misses it off the table it's
00:06:58
on the it's on the floor and black shirt
00:07:01
covers it up immediately and red shirt
00:07:03
was never able to get it at all I think
00:07:06
the only thing he got was close to
00:07:07
giving the dude the old dick twist I
00:07:09
don't think he ever had the ball so I
00:07:11
think the lawsuit isn't going to go in
00:07:14
his favor of course I am not the
00:07:16
preeminent expert on it I I have
00:07:19
analyzed the footage a lot but I'm not
00:07:20
exactly what you'd call the smartest man
00:07:22
in the world that could very well be
00:07:24
wrong but I just don't see any
00:07:26
compelling argument where you could say
00:07:28
that yep he had that ball first and
00:07:30
black shirt wrestled it away from him
00:07:32
from everything I can see it really
00:07:34
seems like red shirt started grabbing
00:07:36
for the ball after black shirt had solid
00:07:40
possession of it for a little bit too
00:07:43
again the damning evidence is his left
00:07:45
hand on that table while black shirt is
00:07:47
already on top of that ball it honestly
00:07:49
just seems like red shirt's heart wasn't
00:07:51
fully in it like you got your phone in
00:07:53
your right hand you're nerfing yourself
00:07:55
when you're fishing for that ball the
00:07:56
second you saw that ball flying your way
00:07:58
bro I'm [ __ ] spiking that like it's a
00:08:00
football touchdown celebration like I'm
00:08:02
focused on getting that ball because you
00:08:04
know that that [ __ ] thing is going to
00:08:06
be selling for Millions like that is a
00:08:08
huge life-changing amount of money I you
00:08:11
know of course hindsight's 2020 like I
00:08:13
wasn't there or anything and I'm sure he
00:08:14
regrets holding onto his phone like I'm
00:08:16
not trying to rub salt in the wound but
00:08:18
you can see this would have been super
00:08:20
different if he had both of his hands
00:08:22
available to him I don't think he has a
00:08:24
case here to claim that the ball was
00:08:26
wrangled away from him in an act of
00:08:28
civil battery I don't think he ever even
00:08:31
really had the ball I think he had a
00:08:33
handful of that dude's balls I don't
00:08:36
think he ever even got his hand around
00:08:37
the Otani home run ball so yeah I guess
00:08:40
we'll see how it plays out though I
00:08:42
again I could be very wrong about that
00:08:43
but from these angles it just doesn't
00:08:45
seem that red shirt ever had the ball
00:08:47
that's about it see you
