Manuel Ramos is the man who happened to retrieve the home run ball that landed outside of Minute Maid Park. At a watch party at his apartment, Ramos spotted the ball from the fifth-floor balcony, ran downstairs and got it.

For those Braves fans interested in bidding on the three-run home run ball have until Feb. 5 to do so. The bidding will officially close at 10:00 p.m. ET.

Soler was the star of the World Series for Atlanta, and he essentially ended things early against the Houston Astros in Game 6. In the top of the third inning with two runners on base, Soler sent a 83-mph cutter from Luis Garcia out of Minute Maid Park, giving Atlanta a 3-0 lead. The Braves went on to win the game 7-0 to win their first Commissioner’s Trophy since 1995.

After the game, Soler was presented with the World Series MVP award. In the six game series, Soler slashed .300/.391/.800 while recording three home runs, six RBI and six hits.

If you are a Braves fan that happens to have the funds, the clock is ticking to get this Game 6 ball.
