Aaron Judge speaks about his 62nd home run ball

American League home run king Aaron Judge spoke out about the historic ball he catapulted with his mighty guns (arms) into the stands at Globe Life Field on Tuesday night.

Here’s what Judge said with his legendary class about the catch:

“It would be great to get it back, but it’s a memory for a fan. He made a great catch (…)”

Number 99 says he wants the historic ball badly, but as of now, the new owner of the ball, Cory Youmans, has no desire to part with it.

Youmans, who works in finance in Dallas, told reporters at the event that he had not yet thought about the ball’s future, but for now he would keep it.

I guess he wants to raise the stakes as high as he can?

According to several specialists, this ball could be worth about two million dollars!

Joe Biden: “Nobody f***s with a Biden!”

U.S. President Joe Biden showed up in Florida in an effort to analyze the damage caused by Hurricane Ian, and at the conference, he mumbled a few words to Fort Myers Beach Mayor Ray Murphy, not knowing the microphone was open.

“Nobody f***s with a Biden!” the president quipped.

“You’re f****** right!” retorted Mayor Murphy.

Biden went on to add that you can’t argue with your brother outside the house and the mayor responded:

“That’s exactly right.”

No one knows the context of the two men’s exchange, but all indications are that the president was puffing his chest out and wanted to indicate that he was the man for the job.

However, there are rumours that Biden may have been talking about Ron DeSantis (Governor of Florida), who may be running for the US presidency in 2024. Both of them were actually present in Florida, so that would make sense.

Let’s take this opportunity to point out again that this is not the first time that microphones have picked up Biden’s words without him being aware of it!

A coyote in a student bathroom!

An unusual thing happened at a California middle school when an adult coyote decided to visit the facility’s restroom.

You can see that the animal was frightened by the wildlife officer trying to catch it in order to release it back into the wild… where it doesn’t have to try to hide behind a toilet to escape humans.

Note that he was safely released back into the wild. We can see him quickly get out of the cage to return to his environment, his “home”, in short, in full health!

Bond: 60 years, 25 films and a mythical character!

James Bond, the agent 007, turned 60 on October 5th!

This mythical character is still considered as much since his cinematographic adaptation in 1962. Before becoming one of the most outstanding characters on the screen, this agent was walking around in novels since 1953.

We are talking about 25 films in total (which are available on Amazon Prime!), where actors such as the Scotsman Sean Connery, the Australian George Lazenby, the Englishman Roger Moore, the Welshman Timothy Dalton, the Irishman Pierce Brosnan and the Englishman Daniel Craig have played this fictional role.

The original rules were that Bond had to be played by an actor from the Commonwealth.

It is important to note that Barry Nelson and David Niven have also donned the 007 costume, but they are not part of the EON Productions franchise.

It should be noted that the production is currently looking for the next 007, who will take the place of Daniel Craig, who wore these shoes from 2006 to 2021, becoming one of the greatest to fill them (the shoes).

The next actor, who is still not chosen, will sign an agreement of 12 years, where four films will be released during those years. Names like Idris Elba, Tom Hardy and Regé-Jean Page have been circulated as potential candidates.

Aaron Judge: A fan willing to do anything for the 62nd ball

On Tuesday night, Aaron Judge hit his 62nd pitch into the stands against the Rangers in Texas, becoming the long ball king in American League history.

Not surprisingly, many fans were willing to risk a lot to get their hands on a historic ball valued in the seven figures.

One fan in particular stood out more than others…

A live video of this fanatic shows his determination to get this authentic collector’s item!

https://twitter.com/markkberger/status/1577451206846431234

Didn’t see it? Look closely on the left, a fan jumps down believing that the ball was going to end up there because of a potential “bounce” somewhere.

The result of this run to this historic ball is this: the fan who caught this ball from Judge ‘s 62 is named Cory Youmans, a vice president of Fisher Investments.

The ball was caught precisely in Section 31, Row 1, Seat Number 3, at Globe Life Field. It was authenticated and autographed, so everything was done by the book.
