Fans Are Asking For Some Pretty Weird Things In Exchange For Aaron Judge’s Home Run Balls

Aaron Judge is currently in the midst of one of the greatest seasons in MLB history. The Yankees star leads the American League in all three triple crown categories with a .316 batting average, 60 home runs and 128 RBIs.

But it’s the home run number that catches everyone’s attention.

That’s because Judge is one homer away from tying and two homers away from passing Roger Maris for the Yankees record for home runs in a season.

The mark also serves as the American League record for home runs in a season.

Some even consider Maris’ 61 homers to be the true home run record as Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were all implicated in baseball’s steroid scandal.

Those “some” would be wrong, but that’s what they’re saying.

Nevertheless, the chase for 61 and then soon after 62 has led many to ask one question: what would they trade in exchange for the famous home run balls?

Though the weirdest one by far came from noted dork Darren Rovell.

If I caught Judge 61 or 62nd, this is what I would ask for for the ball:

1. Judge’s bat used for the home run, inscribed by Judge

2. One of the jerseys worn by Judge, inscribed by Judge.

3. A hard ticket to the game, inscribed by Judge

4. Pictures with Judge

Okay, maybe it wasn’t the weirdest one…
