There’s no one in the world feeling worse right now than this Toronto Blue Jays fan.
On Wednesday, Aaron Judge tied the AL single-season home run record at 61 after launching a ball over the wall in Toronto. It’s an incredibly historic moment, even though some MLB fans don’t agree with the sentimentality, and one that ties Roger Maris in a record that’s stood since 1961.
You’d imagine that record-tying baseball would be worth quite a lot on the market if you were to be the one to get your hands on it. Unfortunately for this Blue Jays fan — in fact, this whole section of them — the opportunity for a big pay day slipped through their fingers and gloves in a matter of seconds.

Yeah, that one hurts. To be so close and to have history — and probably a lot of money! — slip through your fingers isn’t easy to come back from. Good thing no one saw it happen, right?
