Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees hit his 61st home run of the season on Wednesday, hitting a ball from Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Tim Mayza over the Rogers Centre left field wall.
However, a fortunate spectator will not be able to enjoy the pleasures of catching the ball since it
dropped into the Blue Jays bullpen.
Blue Jays Coach caught Aaron Judge’s HR
According to Julia Kreuz of MLB.com (h/t Bryan Hoch of MLB.com), Matt Buschmann, Toronto’s bullpen coach, obtained the treasured property.
Marly Rivera of ESPN gave some closer footage and commentary:
According to YES Network play-by-play announcer Michael Kay, the Yankees currently have control of the ball after taking it from the Jays. WFAN Network has subsequently verified this:
Sara Walsh, who is married to Buschmann, had the last word on what happened after the game on NFL Network and NFL on FOX:
The issue now is whether Judge, with one more blast, can become the American League’s all-time single-season home run leader.
With three home games against the Baltimore Orioles and four away games against the Texas Rangers remaining in the regular season, he’ll have plenty of opportunities.
