Another record is about to be broken and an adequate reward is already set for the same. New York Yankees star Aaron Judge has equaled his count with the baseball legend, Babe Ruth, after hitting the 60th homer of this season. With 12 games left for the Yankees to play this season, All Rise is on the pace to hit a few more home runs.

There is only one thing that everybody is looking forward to most; the 62nd home run of Aaron Judge. After hitting 62, Judge will be on top of all-time record for American League’s most home runs. He will be breaking the record of 61 home runs set by the Roger Maris in 1961 while wearing the Pinstripes. 

The record set by Maris is just on the verge of finally getting broken after more than six decades. 

$2 million for the catcher of the historic 62nd of Aaron Judge 

President of the Memory Lane Auctions, JP Cohen, announced last night on Twitter a whopping $2 million to whoever catches the 62nd homer ball of Aaron ‘All Rise’ Judge. Although, the only condition is that the ball will have to be returned to Cohen.

Furthermore, it is highly unlikely for Cohen to keep the ball for himself. Therefore, if he puts it in an auction, it seems like the base price will be $2 million. Also, fans do agree with it as well. 

But, after this announcement, it would be fair to say that altercations are bound to happen among the fans chasing that ball. While some fans think it is a fair price for a record-breaking baseball, some think that baseball would be worth much more than Cohen is offering it.

Whether a Yankee fan or not, any baseball enthusiast will be going to Yankees games after this announcement in hopes to catch the ball.

What are fans saying about the 62nd home run ball of Judge?

Will the catcher give it back to Judge for free?

In the meantime, is $2 Million just a down payment?

 

Also, is a fight about to break out?
