Aaron Judge's 62nd shot failed to appear at Yankees Stadium, and finally landed in the Global Life Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and the audience seat beside the 372-foot wall of the left field. One fan even ventured out of the railing to pick up the ball, but ended up in the hands of a better fan at another position.
The Associated Press reported that the lucky fan who received the ball sat in the 31st area of the outfield and No. 3 in the first row. He was taken to another place by security personnel to verify his ball through the league. He is about to make a fortune, and the home run is conservatively estimated to be worth $2 million. The lucky fan is named Cory Youmans. He is the vice president of Fisher Investment Company in Dallas, Texas and a Rangers fan. He told reporters: "I haven't figured out how to deal with this ball." The fan who jumped out of the railing was not injured. He was invited out of the stadium for violations. After all, it was $2 million, and it is understandable that he risked to jump out. There were also fans who received Jaj's out-of-bounds balls and quickly took out their mobile phones to take selfies and checked in to show off to their relatives and friends. Today it is also called "Judgement Day" by veteran radio anchor John Sterling.
It doesn't matter if Jaj can't get this ball back. He will get a bigger sum of money this winter. US media CBS analyzed that Jaj is not just good at home runs, but his garrison in the middle and outfield this season is obvious to all. According to the FanGraphs version of the victory contribution value (WAR), Jaggie is the first player in the AFC to break through 11 in half a century after the NFC home run Barry Bonds. He can become the next "300 million man" as soon as a few weeks.
