I would probably do the same, sell today to highest bidder. It’s a baseball. If someone thinks it’s worth is in the 6-7 figure amount, they can have it for that.
Aaron Judge Home Run Ball. What would you do if you caught the ball?
- Thread starter BMWTurboDzl
- Start date
NY Yankees player who just beat Roger Maris single season home run record. It's news because Judge is assumed to be drug free unlike the Sosa, Bonds , era
Fan who caught Aaron Judge's 62nd HR ball gets $2M offer from auctioneer
Aaron Judge made history on Wednesday. Now Cory Youmans has to make a decision.
Agreed. Heck, people pay huge amounts of money for cars they don't need every day, regardless of who has or has not driven it.
Each to their own.
Who was the driver?
Google John Paul Sr.
Aaron Judge said Barry told him he just shoulda done 'roids and hit 80...
I would sell it to the highest bidder as soon as possible. In the short term, the price will likely go down. Long term is anyone's guess but it could go up quite a bit.
Give it to some kid because I never even heard of the guy and then hate myself when I see it was worth $$$
Be hard to prove the actual bat used, the balls are serialized.
I went to a Yankee game in August with 2 childhood friends (even though I grew up in a NY Mets household while living in the Bronx). When I bought 3 draft beers it came to nearly $50 and with the 'recommended tip' of 20% (for pouring 3 beers) it was over $50 (IIRC the beers were $14.50 each).The highest bidder would get the ball if I caught it. The Yankees and Judge have a lot more money than I do and they can easily afford to buy it back.
OTOH, Judge seems like a genuinely nice, humble guy just like Derek Jeter was....The Yankees (like the football Giants) don't seem to tolerate 'me' guys...that's why the Giants got rid of Odell Beckham I'm told.
PS: I agree the guy who caught the ball should sell it asap to the highest bidder.

I was born and raised in NY. I'm not a fan of baseball, or NY teams. I'd rather watch paint dry than a baseball game. You're right beers at a ballgame sell for stupid money, they have a captive audience. I hear they beat you upside the head to park a car at Yankee Stadium too.
I agree Judge seems like a genuinely nice, humble guy just like Derek Jeter, and a few others. Here's the BUT: Having said all of that, catching that ball for me, had I been forced to go to that game, would have been my shot at getting rich fast. Trust me I wouldn't have blown that once in a lifetime shot at some big money!! I would have sold it for big bucks.
Think of your high mile sequoia, perceived value.
My Sequoia will take you where you've never been before. What will a ball do?
I’d sell it for $2M+ in a few days and not lose any sleep over it.
Not a sports fan, but i'd sell it while its hot!
If intrinsic value was the only determinant of markets, economies and the world would be a much different place.
Those little slips of paper and small metal discs most people carry in their wallets and purses have very little intrinsic value. It's what they can be exchanged for that give them value.
And a lot of people really like clear rocks and bits of metal that do little other than serve as shiny bits of ornamentation.
Throw it back. Not a Yankees fan
