New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge made history by finally shooting his home run this Wednesday 61 with which he equaled Roger Maris’ record for most home runs in the American League . And although all the fans present dreamed of capturing the ball, none could achieve their goal.

Judge’s drive to left field at the Rogers Center in Toronto saw a couple of fans who had clear chances to catch the ball stretch to the max for the epic catch but they were out of luck necessary because in the end it landed a few feet from the beginning of the stands.

The fans in question, both wearing Blue Jays jerseys, could not believe their misfortune when the ball ended up being deposited in the division that separates the final fence and the grandstand where they were located.

Immediately they raised their hands to their heads not only for having lost the opportunity to have a unique piece in baseball but the opportunity to take up to $500,000 dollars.

And according to several auction houses, said ball would be valued at half a million dollars if it were sold, although it would always be the case that the fan decided to return it without asking for anything in return io as seen in Judge’s own home run 60.

It seems that those baseball lovers who dreamed of getting the ball will have a new opportunity to join history in the three-game series against Baltimore or the four-game series against Texas in which The Judge could hit his home run 62 and thus keep the record alone.
