MLB fan who caught Aaron Judge's record-breaking home run turns down whopping $2m for ball

Aaron Judge has finally hit his record-breaking 62nd home run of the regular season, and the lucky fan who caught the ball has already denied a $2million (£1.7m) offer.

It was inevitable that Judge would move clear in the history books after initially drawing level with Roger Maris' record of 61 that was set in 1961. And against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night, he hit the famous home run to become the leading scorer in a single season in American league history.

Whoever was the lucky recipient of the ball would be able to sell it for life changing money, and that's already been proven as a $2m (£1.7m) offer has been tabled. But fan Corey Youmans has said he's not sure what he's going to do yet after catching the ball.
