Aaron Judge’s 60th home run ball created pure chaos

Aaron Judge catapulted his 60th pitch of the season into the stands Tuesday night, tying Babe Ruth ‘s mark and moving him closer to Roger Maris‘ 61.

That ball picked up between center field and left field, and a free-for-all ensued immediately. Everyone wanted this historic ball, including the Yankees, MLB and Aaron Judge.

Here is the rumble in question following this Judge bomb:

A fan had to get through this dogpile for Judge’s 60th HR and only asked for an autograph in return @BRWalkoff

We’re talking about a bunch of humans bickering over a ball they didn’t walk away with. Then Mike Kessler, the individual who retrieved the ball asked for some autographs and a stick in return for this HISTORICAL piece… Just this???

Mike Kessler, a @CityCollegeNY player, caught @TheJudge44‘s 60th home run ball last night! Kessler and his teammates got to meet the @Yankees slugger and agreed to swap the ball for four autographed baseballs and a signed game bat!
