Cory Youmans, the fan who caught Yankees superstar Aaron Judge's record-breaking 62nd home run Tuesday night, has already turned down offers of $2million for his piece of history. 

Judge finally broke the single-season AL home run record Tuesday night, and Youmans, who muscled his way above his rivals to catch the ball, is in for a massive payday.

Not long after grabbing the historic memento, Youmans already received - and turned down - offers of $2 million, according to Front Office Sports. 


JP Cohen, the president of Memory Lane, reportedly put out that offer before it was even hit and it remains to be seen what the ball could fetch in an open auction.

After catching the home run ball, which was hit in the first inning in Texas against the Rangers, Youmans was seen being escorted away from his seat by security. 

Youmans was asked was asked what he was going to do with the ball after he secured the valuable artifact. 'That's a good question, I haven't thought about it,' he said.

But Youmans might not need the cash as he is a Vice-President of Fisher Investments, which manages $197 billion worldwide, according to USA Today

Youmans happens to be the husband of Dallas sports reporter and Bachelor Nation alum Bri Amaranthus.

Amaranthus celebrated her husband's mega-money catch on social media as she quote tweeted a video of Youmans being whisked away by security, writing: 'THIS IS MY HUSBAND'.

She later posted a photo of the ball to her Instagram story, adding: 'That's my man. @thejudge44 #62.' 

Amaranthus covers the Dallas Mavericks and Cowboys for Sports Illustrated. She was previously a host and reporter for NBC Sports Northwest, and was a contestant on the 22nd season of 'The Bachelor,' in 2018. 

After Amaranthus' short run on the reality television show, she went on to marry Youmans in June 2021. The pair married after more than a year of engagement when Youmans popped the question while at a resort in Hawaii in February 2020. 

The love birds now live in a high-rise luxury apartment in Dallas, Texas where rent ranges from $2,300 to $8,250 per month, according to Apartment List.

Most of the units showcase a spectacular view of the city in the living room, bathroom and bedroom. 

Residents can enjoy a fully equipped gym and an outdoor resort-style pool that Amaranthus appears to spend a good amount of time at. 

The duo's luxury life seems to extend outside their home as they are often seen on yachts in Mexico, on a boat in Lake Travis, on the beaches of Hawaii, or on a private jet. 

One of their reoccurring vacation spots appears to be in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico where they tied the knot.

Judge tied the 61-year record last week against the Blue Jays, before Yankees fans who wanted to see him break the record at home against the Orioles were left disappointed.

He finally made history Tuesday night against Jesus Tinoco of the Texas Rangers in the second game of the Yankees double header. 

The Yankees gathered to meet Judge at home plate after the home run, and he took off his helmet as he walked back to the dugout to acknowledge the fans.

The fans at the Globe Life Field gave the No. 99 a standing ovation at the bottom of the inning as he took to the field.

That trip around the bases after a long chase was certainly a mixture of pure joy and relief for No. 99, whose only homer in the previous 13 games had been when he tied Maris' 61 last Wednesday in Toronto.

Almost as soon as Judge connected on a 1-1 slider from Texas right-hander Jesús Tinoco, his Yankees teammates streamed out of the dugout to celebrate with him. But they stayed away from home plate - leaving him to step on it before sharing hugs and high-fives. 

Judge did it just in time, too, homering on the next-to-last day of the regular season.

Based on previous estimates by one expert, Youmans would be wise to hold out for more than $2 million.

'Perhaps some collectors believe that Bonds, McGwire and Sosa are the real home run champions. But we discredit that notion for obvious reasons,' Chris Brigandi, owner of Brigandi Coins & Collectibles, told the Action Network.

As the ball cleared the infield, Youmans realized it was coming in his direction left field

'With that said, we can expect Judge's 60th to be valued at $500,000-plus, 61st at $2 million-plus, 62 and record-setting at $5 to $10 million.'

Another fan took a huge fall from their outfield seat in an attempt to catch the ball, but missed it by a wide margin.

A spectator who attempted to grab Judge's record-equaling 61st home run ball in Toronto also suffered a huge miss last Wednesday.

Judge hit the two-run home run with the score tied vs. the Blue Jays at the top of the seventh inning, and several fans in left field had their gloves outstretched in the hopes of capturing the piece of memorabilia.

But one Toronto fan in particular was visibly devastated after missing the ball despite being in near-perfect position to do so.

The man, in a Blue Jays jersey and hat, put his hands on his hand after narrowly missing the ball, and threw his glove in disgust, hitting another fan in the head.

Another nearby fan, identified by The Canadian Press as a man named Frankie Lasagna, came close to catching the ball and said he specifically bought front-row tickets in the hopes of (literally) capturing the milestone.

'Two more feet and I would have had it,' he told the publication.

'I needed a fishing net and I would have got it.'

The previous record AL record holder was another Yankee, Roger Maris, who hit 61 home runs in 1961.

Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire 73 and 70 home runs respectively in the National League, though their records are viewed with asterisks due to their steroid use.

'He's clean, he's a Yankee, he plays the game the right way,' Maris' son Roger Maris Jr. said after Judge's 61st home run.

'I think he gives people a chance to look at somebody who should be revered for hitting 62 home runs and not just as a guy who did it in the American League. He should be revered for being the actual single-season home run champ.'
