Baseball fan Cory Youmans’ world flipped upside down the moment he caught Aaron Judge’s historic home run ball at Globe Life Field on Oct. 4, 2022.
Within moments of replying, “Good question, I haven’t thought about it,” Youmans, a 35-year-old cancer survivor, was immediately swept up into a media circus.Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post“Had I known then what I know now, I would’ve reacted differently,” Youmans said. “But at the time, ignorance was bliss.”
The fallout over the catch and what would become of Judge’s ball was swift and, in part, unsettling. Youmans and his wife, sports reporter and “Bachelor” alum Bri Amaranthus, briefly relocated after their home address was revealed online. What’s more, inaccuracies centered around Youmans began to steer the narrative.
Despite a “pretty chaotic” first week, Youmans was able to navigate the best way to move forward with the ball. He ultimately hired Goldin House“There is no playbook,” Youmans told SI. “I spent a tremendous amount of time researching what people in the past have done. I’ve read all of their stories and studied the outcomes. I thought it would also make sense to keep an open mind and see what all of the options were.
“I was just uncomfortable selling the ball behind closed doors. So we went with the safe, open, fair route at auction,” he said. Although Youmans recognizes there will always be differing opinions — “No matter what I did, not everyone would agree that it was the right strategy” — he’s at peace with what transpired at the end of the day.Share this article:
