NEW YORK — Fans and players quickly jumped to their feet when Aaron Judge swung and connected on a 3-2 sinker in the seventh inning at Rogers Centre in Toronto on Wednesday night.
The line drive record-tying home run grazed past the several gloves in the front row and landed in the Toronto Blue Jays’ bullpen. Pitching coach Matt Buschmann ended up with the baseball, which is estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
“Bad news is I’m down here in Florida battling a hurricane, but the good news is I can announce my retirement,” jokingly tweeted Buschmann’s wife, Sara Walsh, a Fox Sports reporter.
