There are fans who are willing to do many things to get what they want, but what Corey Youmans did this Tuesday, a fan who sought the home run 62 of Aaron Judge, has rarely been seen jumping from the stands to own the ball.
It all happened just in the first episode when Judge went to the plate as the leadoff hitter for the play ball and without much thought deposited the ball in the left field bleacher breaking the record set by Roger Maris in 1961 of more home runs connected in the same season in the American League.
It was there when Youmans, seeing that he was not going To be able to take the ball through the division between the stadium fence and the stands, he decided to jump into the void to capture the ball.
Fortunately for everyone, Corey ended up unharmed and with the precious ball.
The fanatic’s desperation to take possession of the ball was also because, according to some auction houses and other companies, memorabilia bags will have a value of more than $2,000,000 dollars.
After having it in his hands, he was taken by the security team to a sector of the stadium to verify its authenticity.
Unofficially it was known that the Yankees themselves could make an offer to acquire the ball from Youmans. However, according to the interview on the way to the security cubicle, he still does not know what he will do with the ball once the media asked him what he would do with it.
