Baseball fan fails in desperate bid to snatch ‘$2 million home-run ball’ (VIDEO)

One man went to extreme measures while trying to secure a lucrative memento

US baseball announcers were left stunned when a fan showed little care for his own wellbeing by leaping over a railing in a bid to secure New York Yankees star Aaron Judge’s 62nd home run ball of the season on Tuesday night.

Judge hit the shot in the Yankees’ 3-2 defeat against the Texas Rangers, breaking a record set by Roger Maris all the way back in 1961 in the process.

This comes with a little bit of a caveat, though. Judge’s total remains below those set by various players who have been linked to PED usage throughout their careers, including the 73 home runs hit by Barry Bonds in 2001.

Sections of the baseball community consider Bonds’ record to be illegitimate due to his links to steroids, though Judge has gone on record as saying that he considers 73 to be the score to beat.
