On Thursday, a Florida judge ruled that the auction can go on amid an ongoing lawsuit but the baseball cannot be sold before the court's hearing on the case on Oct. 10. "Belanski wrapped his legs around Max’s arm and used his hands to wrangle the ball out of Max’s hand, stealing the ball for himself," the suit said. In an interview with ESPN, Goldin Auctions CEO Ken Goldin said a man — who he did not name — contacted the auction house about the baseball, also known as the 50/50 ball, a day after the Dodgers game.
