Listen to the different calls of the moment that Judge makes history. There is a time and a place for it.
The owner of a sports collectibles auction house offered $2 million to the fan who caught Judge's home run.
JP Cohen, president of Memory Lane Inc., told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he has sent a message to the man who caught Judge's milestone shot. Youmans has yet to reply, Cohen said.
Cohen said in a telephone interview with the AP that he felt the offer was way above fair if the man was going to sell it.
Youmans grabbed the historic souvenir on the fly as it sailed into the front row of section 31 in left field. Many consider baseball's clean standard because the only National League players who hit more have been tarnished by ties to steroids.
The financial world is where youmans works. While security personnel whisked him away to have the prize verified, he was asked what he was going to do with it.
It was a good question. He didn't think about it.
After a local TV station posted a brief interview with Youmans in a walkway, Bri Amaranthus said "This is my wife." A former contestant on ABC's "The Bachelor" is working in local media.
Mark McGwire's 70th home run of the 1998 season was paid for by the price of a home run ball.
Cohen had promised to give $2 million for Judge's 62nd home run. He said his company is willing to lend the ball to the Yankees for an exhibit. The team has displayed items owned by Memory Lane.
Cohen said that the $2 million offer is still valid.
Judge denied having possession of the home run ball after the Yankees lost.
He wasn't sure where it was at. We won't know what happens with that. It would be nice to get it back, but it's a souvenir. They have every right to be happy that he made a great catch.
The crowd of 38,832 was the largest at the ballpark.
On Wednesday, Judge was given a day off as the Yankees prepared to play the Rangers.
