Sports can make otherwise normal people do wacky things.
Case in point: The fan who jumped off a grandstand railing Tuesday night in pursuit of Aaron Judge’s historic 62nd home run of the season. Certainly, there was a method to the fan’s madness. He was trying to retrieve a souvenir estimated to be worth $2 million.
The fan leaped from the first row of seats in left field at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, to an area between the outfield fence and the grandstand. His jump appeared to be at least 10 feet down to the field level.
