Shohei Ohtani’s game-worn Los Angeles Dodgers jersey from the 2025 Tokyo Series sells for $2,055,700 at auction, setting a new record for the most-expensive baseball jersey. The jersey is signed and described as featuring a rare gold MLB logo and special patches tied to the Tokyo Series debut in Japan. One report also notes that Ohtani’s Tokyo Series cleats sold for a separate footwear record amount.
Several outlets emphasize the record-setting nature of the sale, while others connect it to Ohtani’s broader 2026 performance context. Yahoo Sports highlights that the memorabilia price remains high “despite” a disappointing 2026 postseason, and a New York Post headline similarly frames the sale against playoff flameout. Another Yahoo Sports story focuses more narrowly on the Tokyo Series jersey making history.
While the core facts about the jersey and the price are consistent across coverage, outlets vary in whether they add details such as the gold MLB logo, special patches, the specific “21st century” framing, and whether they mention the cleats’ earlier record sale.
