This is hard to watch.
While Aaron Judge secured his place in baseball history, a fan in left field came painfully close to securing a huge payday. Instead, he watched a historic home run ball bounce into the bullpen.
Judge launched a 94 mph sinker off of Toronto Blue Jays reliever Tim Mayza in the seventh inning on Wednesday to secure a 5-3 lead for the New York Yankees en route to an 8-3 win. More importantly, the two-run blast was his 61st of the season to tie Roger Maris for the most single-season home runs in AL history.
