After Judge’s No.60 home run, the struggle to get a hold of the home run ball was crazy in the stands. The group of a large number of people in the stands can be seen stacking up against one another to get their hands on the historical ball.
The Group of kids that caught Aaron Judge’s 60th HR ball didn’t ask for anything in return because
“He's given so much to the organization."
They still got autographed baseballs and bats.

Finally, a Yankee fan named Mike Kessler turned out to be the most fortunate to get his hands on the ball in the stands. Following the game, the 20-year-old spoke to the New York Post about what he was going to do with the historic ball.
I handed it back to Aaron,’’ said Kessler.
Kessler wanted the judge to keep his own piece of story, and he wanted to give it away for free. If the fan had chosen to keep the ball, Judge’s 60th home run could have sold for anywhere from $50,000 to $500,000.
