A fan was willing to risk it all on Tuesday night when he jumped into a concourse in hopes that Aaron Judge's 62nd home run would fall into the area.
However, it was a double whammy for the fan — the estimated $2 million-plus ball was caught in the stands on the fly, and the man was ejected from the game.

Judge hit the homer as the first batter of the game, so the fan didn't even see an out recorded before he was booted from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
The good news is that he was not injured in his fall, and since the Texas Rangers opted not to punish the fan further, police let him go without further incident, according to TMZ.
