Aaron Judge #99 of the New York Yankees at bat against the Boston Red Sox during the fifth inning at Fenway Park on September 14, 2022 in Boston, Massachusetts.

The home run ball that Yankees slugger Aaron Judge hit for a record this past season is heading up for auction.

On November 29th, folks can start putting in bids on the ball that Aaron Judge hit for his 62nd homer, setting a single season home run record in the American League. Founder of Goldin Auctions House Ken Goldin expects the ball to go for millions of dollars.

“A record Mark McGuire record home run ball sold for three million dollars and memorabilia has gone up ten fold since then and so has public interest. I think we are in for very heated bidding activity.”

Cory Youmans from Dallas caught the home run ball. His attorney tells ESPN, He’s turned down a three million dollar offer before deciding to auction it off.
