“Could I Live With That?”- Lucky MLB Fan Brings Up Boston Red Sox Fear to Explain $1.5 Million Settlement for Aaron Judge’s Historic Home Run Ball

While Aaron Judge and his free agency stimulated loads of rumors and speculations prior to and post the winter meetings, his iconic and historic 62nd homer ball induced an equal amount of drama during the season, and even after. In the most recent turn of events, Cory Youmans, who caught Judge’s 62nd homer, made a shocking claim whose roots are found in the century-old Curse of the Bambino.

The second half of September fixated on the anticipation of Judge and his eventual 62nd homer, which eventually came against the Texas Rangers on 4th October. And it was caught in the bleachers by Youmans, who is the vice president of Fisher Investments, a firm that manages $197 billion globally.

Cory Youmans picks a $1.5 million loss over the Nation finding the historic Aaron Judge ball

Back in October, when Cory Youmans just caught the historic home run ball, he turned down a $3 million offer for the homer ball. Eventually, in an auction, the ball sold for $1.5 million. And the businessman ended up facing a $1.5 million loss.

However, in an interview with Sports Illustrated, he spoke about choosing the comfort and security of who he sells the ball to, over the cash that would come with it. And in exchange, he brought out the great Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees rivalry and the possibility of a BoSox fan finding the ball in an earlier purchase.

Cory Youmans said, “How the ball was sold was more important than what it sold for. The money is important, but there are other factors than to just squeak out another dollar. What if I unknowingly sold a piece of Yankees’ history directly to a Red Sox fan? Could I live with that? With the auction I couldn’t prevent that, but I could at least make sure it was fair and everyone had a chance.”

Notably, the New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox rivalry goes way back to Babe Ruth. But the mere thought of picking a whopping $1.5 million loss above the eventual and unusual possibility of a Red Sox fan purchasing the ball. Remarkable, right?

To be fair, why would a Red Sox fan spend a million and above on a Yankee star homer ball? Out of pure spite? Strange. Would you let go of $1.5 million? Let us know in the comments below.
