Story summary
Former Major League Baseball (MLB) player Daniel Johnson lost more than $90,000 worth of items from his storage unit in Arizona. The theft occurred on September 27, and most of the stolen goods were clothing and baseball memorabilia collected during his five-year career with teams like the San Francisco Giants, Cleveland Guardians, Baltimore Orioles, and Houston Astros. Two suspects, Daniel Jacob Thompson, aged 48, and Michael Charles Hummel, aged 30, were arrested after trying to sell some stolen items at a pawn shop. A pawn-shop employee recognized them from police flyers and alerted authorities; the duo was caught in the act of selling two pairs of shoes taken from Johnson's storage unit. The theft deeply affected Johnson, who considers his memorabilia irreplaceable due to its sentimental value.
