A captured baseball could instantly make a fan rich if he accepted the $2 million offer.
This is how much the owner of an auction house wants to pay for the ball Cory Youmans caught after a home run by New York Yankees player Aaron Judge on Tuesday night. The AP news agency reported on Wednesday, citing a conversation with JP Cohen, President of Memory Lane in Tustin, California.
Judge’s 62nd home run of the season with the Texas Rangers broke a 61-year-old record in the American League, one of Major League Baseball’s two divisions. Because the even better values in the National League were all achieved by players with a doping background, the value is considered the clean record in American baseball.
The record price for a baseball hitting a home run is $3 million. The money was paid for the ball with which Mark McGwire set a record 70 regular-season home runs in 1998.
