As he walked through a concourse in the outfield at Globe Life Field, high-fiving with fans and surrounded by a sea of cameras, it was almost as if Cory Youmans had hit a huge home run.

Instead, he hit the jackpot.

Youmans made the catch of a lifetime Tuesday night, snagging the ball New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge launched for his

The historic souvenir came sailing into the front row of section 31 in left field, a drive Judge hit to lead off the second game of a day-night doubleheader against the Texas Rangers. Youmans snared it on the fly.

Youmans, who is from Dallas, works in the financial world and thereB次元官网网址檚 no telling yet what the ball could be worth. With security personnel around him as he took the ball to be authenticated, he was asked what he planned to do with the prize.

B次元官网网址淕ood question. I havenB次元官网网址檛 thought about it,B次元官网网址� he said.

After the , Judge said he didnB次元官网网址檛 have possession of the home-run ball.

B次元官网网址淚 donB次元官网网址檛 know where itB次元官网网址檚 at,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檒l see what happens with that. It would be great to get it back, but thatB次元官网网址檚 a souvenir for a fan. He made a great catch out there, and theyB次元官网网址檝e got every right to it.B次元官网网址�

Youmans was among the crowd of 38,832, the largest to watch a baseball game at the 3-year-old ballpark.

Many fans came clad in Yankees caps, T-shirts and pinstripe jerseys.

Some came to watch Judge make history. Some came just for the history. Some traveled a long way.

The latter two categories included Jimmy Bennicaso of Norwalk, Connecticut.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 a Met fan, actually,B次元官网网址� Bennicaso confessed. B次元官网网址淐owboy and Met fan B次元官网网址� a rough combo.B次元官网网址�

Bennicaso was home in Connecticut on Monday night having watched Judge fail to homer in the first of four games against the Rangers in three days. He ran an idea past his girlfriend B次元官网网址� what if he headed to Texas to take in JudgeB次元官网网址檚 chase in person?

B次元官网网址淪he said, B次元官网网址榊eah, go for it,B次元官网网址橞次元官网网址� he said.

Bennicaso caught a morning flight to Texas. Being self-employed in real estate investments helped, he said.

Bennicaso stationed himself in the lower deck of the right-field stands in hopes of grabbing an opposite-field homer, certainly a possibility given JudgeB次元官网网址檚 spray chart.

Instead, Judge pulled a home run that broke the AL record set by Roger Maris in 1961.

Empty-handed, Bennicaso planned to return home Wednesday morning.

B次元官网网址淚t was worth it,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淚 gave it my best shot.B次元官网网址�
