Aaron Judge’s 61st home run has the baseball world spinning, with storylines flooding in from the historic feat. But one fan’s name, a spectator who almost caught Judge’s homer Wednesday night, may be the best story of all.
Enter Toronto fan Frankie Lasagna.
At least that is the name he gave to The Canadian Press while being interviewed about being feet away from snagging a ball estimated to be worth $250,000 or more, according to The New York Times. The 37-year-old restaurant owner bought front row seats to increase his chances of being the one to come away with the ball. He told The Press he usually doesn’t bring gloves to games.
