'Offer is still valid': Auction house prepared to pay $2 million for Aaron Judge's historic HR ball

The owner of a sports memorabilia auction house says he has offered $2 million to the fan who caught New York Yankees star Aaron Judge's American League-record 62nd home run.

JP Cohen, president of Memory Lane Inc. in Tustin, California, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he has texted and emailed Cory Youmans, the man who caught Judge's milestone shot Tuesday night at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Cohen says Youmans has not yet replied.

"I feel the offer is way above fair, if he is inclined to sell it," Cohen said in a telephone interview with the AP on Wednesday.
