New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge's 61st home run of the season was a rocket into the left-field stands at Rogers Centre in Toronto that eluded fans in the front row and dropped to the Blue Jays' bullpen below. The person who came tantalizingly close to snagging the home run ball that tied the American League and Yankee record for most home runs in a single season, as well as a potentially hefty payout for it? Frankie Lasagna. Seriously. The Toronto resident and Blue Jays fan, who owns a restaurant in the city (seriously), appeared visibly flustered after missing the ball, which nicked his glove before ricocheting off a retaining wall into the bullpen. "I was like, 'Oh my God, I almost had it,' " Lasagna said. Blue Jays bullpen coach Matt Buschmann secured the ball and later handed it over to a Yankees relief pitcher for safekeeping. Better luck next time, Frankie Lasagna.
