MLB in Brief: Losing $1.5M with Aaron Judge’s Bullet | Bradley Zimmer in LA

Lose $1.5 million with Aaron Judge’s bullet

Whoever caught his 62 homer sold the ball at auction for $1.5 million. But before that, he had a three million dollar offer on the table.

In October, Cory Youmans caught Aaron Judge’s 62nd home run ball.

A month later, he turned down a $3 million offer for it — instead choosing to put it up for auction.

The bidding for it finally just closed… at $1.5 million. pic.twitter.com/Oz6asxAP3N
