Aaron Judge's 62nd HR ball fetches $1.5 million at auction after buyer turned down $3 million offer
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/ml...e-auction.html
The fan who caught Aaron Judge's record-breaking 62nd home run ball appears to have run out of luck, after picking up significantly less than expected for his prized possession in an online auction.
Cory Youmans, a 35-year-old from Dallas, Texas scrambled to catch Judge's home run ball against the Texas Rangers on October 4 but surprisingly turned down a $3million offer for the prize in favor of putting it up for auction.
Youmans made the decision to sell the ball with the Goldin Auctions house 'after weeks of a lot of deep conversations' with his wife and lawyer, but it ended Saturday night with a final bid of just $1.25m - with fees taking it up to exactly HALF of what he could previously have earned.
In fact, the ball failed to pick up any significant bids in the final four days of the auction, and Youmans may now be regretting his decision to keep hold of the ball after the initial $3m offer he received in the aftermath of the game.

I wonder who actually won the auction. Shouldn't have the guy willing to spend $3 million been the one to buy it so cheap?

Some people just have money to waste. No baseball is worth that much.

That ball was on display down at the Philly Show earlier this month. The one rumor I heard from a Yankees fan down there was that the Yankees were trying to obtain the ball to give back to Judge. This was over a week before Judge resigned, so maybe there is some truth to the story.
