The Fisher Investments financial advisor and branch office vice president who caught the historic 62nd home run ball that New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge hit last month — setting a new single-season American League record — has decided to put the baseball up for auction through Goldin Auctions.
Cory Youmans, who serves as a branch vice president at Fisher's office in Plano, Texas, caught the ball that Judge hit while he was attending the Yankees-Rangers game at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, on Oct. 4.
The home run broke the single-season American League record of 61 hit by New York Yankee Roger Maris in 1961.
Youmans was reportedly offered $3 million for the ball, but chose to auction the ball off through Goldin Auctions, according to ESPN. (The advisor didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday.)
The ESPN report quoted Youmans as saying that he decided to auction it with Goldin Auctions "after weeks of a lot of deep conversations" with his wife, sports reporter Bri Amaranthus, and lawyer Dave Baron.
