Aaron Judge's American League-record-breaking 62nd home run ball sold for $1.5 million with a buyer's premium on Saturday night via collectibles marketplace Goldin.
While the buyer has chosen to remain anonymous, he said in a statement issued through Goldin the he is, "lucky, blessed ... to own a piece of baseball and American history."
Seller Cory Youmans caught the ball at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, during an Oct. 4 game between the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers. He turned down a $3 million offer for the ball and elected to put it up for auction.
