A Texas Rangers fan caught Aaron Judge's 62nd home run Tuesday. When Cory Youmans caught the ball at Globe Life Field, security escorted him away.

Youmans was wearing a Rangers hat, and people cheered for him as he left. He said he hadn't decided what he would do with it.

By Wednesday morning, Youmans had deleted his social media accounts. His LinkedIn previously said he worked at a Fisher Investments branch in Dallas.

The president of the auction house, Memory Lane, has offered $2 million for the ball. JP Cohen has said he would buy the ball and loan it to Yankee Stadium to put on public display.

After Tuesday's game, Judge said he had not yet been in touch with Youmans.

"It'd be great to get it back, but that's a souvenir for a fan," Judge said. "They made a great catch out there, and they've got every right to it."
