Run-in with fan over Shohei Ohtani home run ball isn't helping Dodgers' image
As the illegal gambling scandal involving Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter swirls, the Dodgers have become involved in another controversy. The Los Angeles Dodgers' handling of the illegal gambling scandal surrounding former friend and interpreter of Shohei Ohtani, Ippei Mizuhara, has caused controversy with the team over its handling of a home run ball by the player, Ambar Roman, who caught the ball and claimed that team security pressured her to claim the historic ball. Roman claims that security threatened to block the ball's authentication if she didn't give it up, forcing her to exchange it for two autographed hats and bats. This latest incident is not expected to boost public opinion regarding the team's handling of this scandal.

Thoughts vary regarding how the Los Angeles Dodgers have handled the illegal gambling scandal implicating former longtime friend and interpreter of star Shohei Ohtani, Ippei Mizuhara.
However, while that saga hangs over the franchise's head, the latest incident involving the team isn't bound to boost public opinion.
On Wednesday, Ohtani smashed his first home run as a Dodger to the delight of many, except the fan who caught the ball, Ambar Roman. On Thursday, she told Sam Blum of The Athletic that team security pressured her unnecessarily when attempting to claim the historic ball.
Roman alleges that security coerced her into answering immediately, threatening to block the ball's authentication if she didn't give it up. Finally, she relented, exchanging it for two autographed hats and bats.
