Aaron Judge’s historic 61st home run would have been worth a lot of money had it hit the open market. This Blue Jays fan knew it after comically missing the catch and now NFL reporter Sara Walsh knows this pain.
On Wednesday, Judge tied Roger Maris’ long-standing record of 61 home runs, the most in a single season in the AL. While some baseball fans had a field day roasting the milestone, many were celebrating the historical occasion. Walsh, on the other hand, was going through quite a journey on Twitter after realizing that her husband was the one that ended up with Judge’s historic homer.
You see, Walsh’s husband is Matt Buschmann, the Blue Jays bullpen coach. Buschmann ended up with the ball after it landed in the bullpen and Walsh hilariously found out the news via Twitter while battling Hurricane Ian in Florida.
Bad news is I’m down here in Florida battling a hurricane, but the good news is I can announce my retirement…. pic.twitter.com/gbhFSgDZBL

Unfortunately for Walsh, Buschmann was then spotted on the broadcast handing the ball off to someone, relinquishing claim over a historic home run and a likely big pay day. Walsh’s response? A cold dose of reality.
Oh cool. He just handed that back without checking to see if our house is still here? I’d next like to announce our divorce. pic.twitter.com/37HmHIoomS

There’s no coming back from that one, Buschmann.
