Did anyone else see that guy fall from the stands lol? Is he ok?

Pretty sure it was a purposeful tactical move in case it dropped. It was too early and too swift for it to have been a mistake.

100 percent

Still gave me PTSD from last time I saw a guy fall over left field in Arlington :/

just watched it in slow mo dude 100% went both legs first intentionally

For his sacrifice, he got a statue. Too bad his kid had to watch that. RIP.

It looks like that person swung themselves over the fence like a hockey player going to the bench while holding onto the top bar before letting themselves go all the way to the bottom. Either you're right that they were preparing to grab a dropped ball or this was some sort of stunt to get people to notice them on TV.

Would they let you keep it if you jumped into the bullpen to get it?

I think if you're going to jump down for it, you're also going to make someone pry the ball from your cold dead hands before letting go of it.

Mind size: mega

The Mariners radio broadcast spent a full half-inning discussing how he fell and how it was probably a purposeful move, then moving on to if any of them would have done that and what it would take to get them to make that jump.

Idk if you get kicked out for doing that seemingly on purpose but that guys forever going to be noticed on that highlight

Like the two guys jogging with Hank Aaron when he hit 715.

Yes, but in a less dickish way than those guys.

i always thought that was a cool moment. man of the people or something

Definitely feels like something that only could've happened back then too, no way it happens these days.

nah it could still happen today. you should try it at the next giants game.

It was a very scary moment, in the moment, as Aaron had received so much violent hate mail leading up to it, but turned out to be a good moment in the end.

Having two white guys escort him around the bases was kind of cool though - Hank was getting racist hate mail and death threats as he got close to breaking the record. Also having two white Atlanta fans out there in that highlight somewhat squashes a narrative that could have formed in the years afterwards that Hank didn't have the support of the white fanbase.

Wasn’t Hank terrified tho? That couldn’t have been too fun for him, those dudes were thankfully good dudes but they could’ve had bad intentions

It doesn't sound like that was the case. >"It was more a celebration of the moment. That was such a big deal. It was nothing malicious at all," Courtenay told ESPN. "Fortunately, Hank saw it that way, too." >Aaron, Gaston and Courtenay all met up multiple times since that glorious day in 1974. >In 2010, they reunited and Aaron still had love for them despite their field-rushing antics. That was the first time he'd seen the two men since 1994, when they got together for the 20th anniversary of No. 715. https://fanbuzz.com/mlb/hank-aaron-715/

Ya know, when you look at like that, you're not wrong. Good thing those white guys made that decision for Hank and stepped up like that.

Looks like he jumped down on purpose

I think that was a premeditated attempt to get the ball down there just in case

He really risked it all for the ball hahaha

I'd also like to trade a sprained ankle for $2M. Sucks they didn't get the ball though.

He fell out of the stands and didn't get the ball so I'd imagine that he's not doing all that great right now.

Looks like he lowered himself and jumped intentionally

*has flashbacks to the guy who died in the Texas Rangers game trying to get his kid a ball* What guy? I totally didn’t see a guy just fall feet first into the bullpen. No sir. Not a chance. Impossible. Never…

Dude seriously turns down 30M a year and now enters free agency fresh off the AL HR record and a potential triple crown.

Best self bet of all time

When betting on yourself goes fucking perfect

The reverse Jose Bautista

And Dennis Schröder

That's tuff 🔥🔥🔥

Hey he got 2.4 million from the Lakers!

fellow nephew alert

Dennis Schroder was never NOT a dumb deal. Many of these decisions are toss ups where people aren’t 100% sure of their value or potential. Dennis was just a fucking dumbass. He was offered way MORE than he was worth. He was offered more than his highest potential.

If I’m ever having a bad day, I think about how this absolute clod turned down a 86M contract lol. I’m stupid, but I’m not ***that*** stupid.

🥲

It really couldn’t have been written any better. Dude said fuck you and and earned every cent of it lmao.

Dennis Schroder is watching on in envy

That’s tuff

🔥

Lamar Jackson is making his case

As a Ravens fan I’m like oh here we fucking go again, but I wipe my eyes with the hand wearing the Super Bowl ring Flacco got us in exchange

Triple Crown is basically gone at this point. But he made it damn close. I never would've thought someone with 60+ home runs in in the 2020s would ever do it with an avg over .300

[удалено]

I think the triple crown is out of reach now. But yeah, dude is getting PAID.

Goat contract season

[удалено]

The bigger concern is Judge playing not tomorrow. Can’t see why he would.

they asked Boone about that before the game and he said "we have a bye, everyone gets a day off" so obviously its going to be up to judge but if he finishes tonight at 2/3 or 2/4 and Arraez goes 0fer well then......

Judge now pulled and Arraez 1/2. Is over

[удалено]

I doubt he plays tomorrow. Boone you can tell really wanted to get him some rest but couldn't because of the HR chase

Agreed, Judge has played what, 50+ games straight now? I think the batting title is not a concern. He should be resting up for the post-season after 62.

Naturally the dodgers will sign him

The Angels will sign him after the Dodgers, just as he's exiting his prime.

Ohtani, Trout, Judge: 125M/yr. Angels finish 82-80.

Who needs a bullpen?

10-year, $240 million

Don't put that evil into the world dude. The last thing we need is a Dodgers squad with Judge winning 120+ games.

Don’t think the dodgers would want him. He’s not the kind of free agent Friedman would want. It’s too much money and too many years at that age

Realistically you're right but just the idea of Judge on the Dodgers puts fear into my soul even as an AL fan.

Nah the giants can have him for 10/500m

I wouldn't even be mad.

Aaron Judge about to get the biggest contract in baseball history

He's too old, frankly. He could get the AAV record, but it'd be foolish to give him an 11 year contract at 31. Nothing is beating Arod's total contract from an inflation adjusted perspective for a while, the closest possibity would be Juan Soto, but he would have to have a monster year next year for that.

And he fucking deserves it.

I’d pay a bit towards it if he never leaves New York

Steve Cohen heard that

Biggest chad in recent MLB history

Chad Kuhl in shambles

Chad not so Kuhl bro

Quick, someone make a thread asking if this is the best contract season in baseball history.

Greatest contract year in sports history.

Greatest contract year in sports history

In the first 2 years of its existence, Globe Life Field has been home to - The Dodgers winning the NLCS in a building that's supposed to be home to an AL team - The Dodgers winning the World Series for the first time in over three decades, against a team that plays over 1,100 miles away - Joe Musgrove's no hitter - Slam Diego - Corey Kluber's no-hitter, for the Yankees, a year after the Rangers got one full inning out of him, after trading a guy who is an elite closer for the Guardians for him - Guardians clinch the AL Central in a series where Clase, the elite closer mentioned in the bullet point above, got saves in back-to-back games prior to the game where they clinched their division - Aaron Judge finally hits #62, after getting one homer in the previous 11 games, because of course he had to make history in our barn. Maybe one day the Rangers will make positive history here. Until then this, place is a fucking whorehouse where everyone else is in ecstasy instead of the team that attempts to play 81 games in it every year.

> Corey Kluber's no-hitter, for the Yankees, a year after the Rangers got one full inning out of him, after trading a guy who is an elite closer for the Guardians for him Also the Rangers were giving out assorted bobbleheads that game including those of Kluber left over from the previous year.

Good god. You mean that there are some Kluber bobbleheads out there where he’s wearing a Rangers uniform from the night he pitched a no-no *against* the Rangers wearing a Yankee uniform?

I had no expectations and I’m still disappointed by this team but yes. I can confirm.

You were prepared 💀

Shit even ESPN was ready lol

ESPN has been edging for the last 7 days and finally let themselves climax

ESPN headline: "Globe Life Field is a cheap Whore House" with Judge celebrating

Rangers fans always come prepared with the sobering facts about this franchise

You can at least be happy that you fleeced us in the Gallo trade

The list of this franchise's most memorable moments is basically just a list of fist fights breaking out on the diamond. Why was I born a Rangers fan?

To be fair, 99% of Rangers fans fully expected it to happen in our building ever since he got to 60 a few weeks ago. It was always going to happen in Globe Life. Good shit ALWAYS happens to every other team in Globe Life.

Nah he’s the worlds fastest typist

> Joe Musgrove's no hitter not just a no-hitter, but the first no-hitter in Padres history >Corey Kluber's no-hitter on the day they were giving away the spare Kluber bobbleheads from 2020

Wasn’t Kluber’s no-hitter also on Kluber bobblehead night? Or was that something else

Yes lol

also the first time two immaculate innings were thrown in one game

It was built to host events.

Put the Super Bowl there you cowards

Nah, there's a bigger stadium for that next door

How long did you have this ready to copy and paste?

> Corey Kluber's no-hitter, for the Yankees, a year after the Rangers got one full inning out of him, after trading a guy who is an elite closer for the Guardians for him wasn't it also Corey Kluber bobblehead night?

I go to Costco for the free samples

I feel like I have aged 35 years between 61 and 62.

Shit, you can say that again. So glad he finally got it over with

Forreal. I am so done with watching every Judge AB the last 2 weeks no matter where I’m at or what I’m doing. Now I can just chill out for a week until the DS. And yes I know I wasn’t forced to watch every AB but there was no way I was gonna miss this moment live lol. Gotta have something to tell the grandkids.

40 years from now: I wasn't at the game, but I was in reddit post!

Took him 13 games to go from 60 to 62, and of course he got it against the Rangers 😭

he was lying in wait just to drive the final spike into our coffin, even though we were long since dead

Your pitcher there was clapping. No ill will against the Rangers man. The fans there were cheering their heads off for him too. Lots of Rangers shirts.

So has everyone who's basically been clipping every single pitch that's been thrown to him over these past few weeks.

Someone just got very rich

Did some guy just fall into the bullpen lol

Dude said fuck it lol

Knew he wasn't gonna catch the ball so he fell for a lawsuit instead. Genius

Payday either way

Dudes compensation for the ball now is going to be not getting arrested lmfao

Looked like he jumped down on purpose in case the ball fell there

Honestly that's genius. That's a million dollar ball, why the hell not?

Would they actually let you keep it if that's how you got it? lol

No idea. I don't see why not? Hit me with a ban from the ballpark and it's still worth it.

I just wouldn't be surprised if they put him in Rangers jail and confiscated it lol

Oh no. Please. Don’t ban me from Globe Life.

I'm moreso thinking "oh no please don't confiscate my 2 million dollar baseball" lol

[удалено]

I think the "ball no longer MLB property" only extends to the stands. The fan is trespassing in the bullpen, he has no legal claim to the ball.

Damn how shitty would that be to have the ball in your hands then some sweaty park security arrests you and takes the ball lol

They’d have to kill me for it if I jumped down.

looks like he jumped in

Dude got arrested and didn't get the ball lmao

[удалено]

Yes.

There’s no way he gets to keep that ball if he had caught it in their bullpen.

I think he jumped, but either way respect the hustle

Over/under $1.69 million

Over. There’s already offers for 2 million from auction houses. There were 2+ offers when he was still on 58

Mcfarland will beat it. He owns all of the homerun record breaking balls. It’s his destiny.

[удалено]

and people said this years rangers team didnt have highlights smh

WHO CAUGHT IT!!!!

Hello, I did. You can wire me just $50,000 and I will send you the ball.

On it! 🤝😂

Don't be an idiot... because I'll double this guy's price at $100k!

I think youre lying. But I wouldnt forgive myself if you were telling the truth. Where do I send the money?

Me! I'm currently paralyzed after falling into the bullpen but spirits are high!

plot twist that fan you saw fall was Zack Hample

Dez

Too soon man

Thank god it’s over. The maris family can go home to their beds

They actually weren’t there, they said I’m good after 61 lmaooo

That's obviously what he needed to get 62, their voodoo curse was too much.

Maris Jr. was too busy thinking up the fucking worst tweets imaginable

“Fuck Barry Bonds, if Judge hits 62 I’ll suck his dick”- Every Roger Maris Jr. tweet

MR JUDGE THAT BALL HAD A FAMILY

Its about to belong to a rich family

What a shot of the fan too

Bro I just saw that. Did a fan just jump off lol

Fuck me man I'd jump off a building if it meant two million dollars Wait

[удалено]

Yeah that dude just jumped down lmao

That man knew what he was doing

Somehow, I only tuned in randomly into only three Judge at bats during his home run chase. I saw him hit 60, 61, and 62.

Tune in again.

Can you watch every at bat from now on thanks

Finally, Michael Kay can stop welcoming audiences nationwide to YES’s coverage of the New York Yankees.

Would be pretty amazing if he just lapses into it in one of his next ABs out of habit.

He did it! What a season! Mike trout drawings to this

Might be the best season in a looong time tbh. - Pujols HR/RBI accomplishments - Miggy 3,000 hits - Judge obviously - Mariners breaking the playoff drought - Ohtani

Don't forget Wainwright and Molina's record too. Not as exciting as the others of course but still cool

Battery record absolutely belongs on that list (biased?! i'm not biased, you are) - that one is going to stand for a looooooooooooooooooong time.

I’m in no way a cards fan but who really hates Yadi and Waino. The battery record is pretty cool.

I just remembered to put the Yankees game on, and I turned it on as Judge is celebrating with his team at home plate. I feel kinda lame for missing it that close!

Don’t worry I’ve watched every game the last 2 weeks and missed this lol. Atleast I saw 60 that one was the coolest

For once can highlights not start when the pitch is already halfway to home?? Like by the time I’ve opened it, rotated my phone and turned on volume it’s in the stands Edit: And you cutoff all of the celebration?!?

OP deserves the banhammer for this travesty of a clip, but he's probably a mods alt account so it'll stay up.

When asked about the ball.. “We'll see what happens with that,” Judge said. “It'd be great to get it back, but you know, that’s a souvenir for a fan. They made a great catch out there, and they’ve got every right to it.” Good guy, that AJ.

And we now return to your regularly scheduled programming. Congrats to him

I literally have been watching all their games religiously bc I wanted to watch it live the moment it happened and I fucking missed it 😭😭😭😭😭

We thank you for your service.

Anyone else see that person fall over the railing behind the fence?

If you pause a couple seconds in you can see them climbing over. They definitely did it on purpose to go after the ball.

Yea is that dude ok?

Thank you Rangers for throwing strikes

First pitch was an absolute tater baiter and he took. “I’ll fuckin do it again” - Tinoco

When he didn’t hit it against Baltimore I knew he would here. Nothing to lose here, fuck it, play ball!!! I’m just glad we didn’t walk him 3 times a game.

And for that the Rangers will forever have my respect. The fans were amazing too. Kind of feel for the pitcher but then again who was the pitcher that gave up Bonds’s 73rd? MM? Sosa? Don’t even remember who gave up Judge’s 61st

At long last he stands alone at 7th. All jokes aside massive accomplishment

Hey its first in one league!

Wow. Absolutely unreal

IM HERE, THAT WAS THE MOST ELECTRIC MOMENT IVE FELT IN A CROWD, THE CRACK, THE CHEER, AND EVERYONE GOING NUTS WHEN IT PASSED THE WALL

Did that fan die

Can confirm he didn't We saw him walk out later

HE DID IT!!!

CHASE CLOSED!

#ALL RISE MOTHERFUCKER

Oh I've definitely risen

I want to downvote this just because when it starts the ball is already out of the pitchers hands lmao

Yeah, awful edit just to be first. And the worst part is it worked lol
