Dropped Aaron Judge ball sold by MLB (not Dodgers) gets $43,510 in auction

LA Times  

New York Yankees center fielder Aaron Judge makes a fielding error during the fifth inning of Game 5 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Oct. 30. Last week, the ball Judge infamously dropped in the fifth inning of the Yankees’ Game 5 loss to the Dodgers in this year’s World Series was auctioned off for $43,510. “They’re a bunch of classless pigs.” In reality, the ball was part of a larger year-end auction organized by MLB — which included “Dropped Fly Ball by Aaron Judge” in its description of the item. Judge’s drop, of course, helped set the stage for the Dodgers’ historic rally in Game 5 of the World Series, when they erased a five-run deficit in the fifth en route to the biggest comeback victory in a title-clinching game in Fall Classic history.
