The Rangers fan who caught Aaron Judge’s 62nd home run ball just happens to be married to a former contestant on The Bachelor.

What connects Yankees superstar Aaron Judge to the reality dating show The Bachelor? Cory Youmans.

Youmans is the fan who caught Judge’s AL record-setting 62nd home run of the season at Globe Life Field.

This year he snagged Judge’s homer. Last year he snagged the hand of former Bachelor contestant Brianna Amaranthus, per Page Six.

Youmans and Amaranthus tied the knot last June. A baseball potentially worth millions of dollars could be something like a belated wedding present from Judge.

Apparently, no decision has been made on what to do with the record-setting ball.

The couple began dating shortly after Amaranthus was cut from the show in the first week of Season 22 which aired in 2018. She had been competing for the affection of Arie Luyendyk Jr., a former Bachelorette contestant and race car driver.

Obviously, she didn’t catch Luyendyk’s eye but it worked out just fine for her in the end.

Judge hit the record-setting home run on Oct. 4. It pushed him past Roger Maris for the single-season American League home run record. Some fans now consider Judge the new MLB home run king because totals for the six seasons that outpace his were achieved by players accused of PED use during the steroid era.

Barry Bonds technically holds the MLB record at 73. Mark McGwire hit 70 in 1998 and 65 in 1999 for second and fourth place in the record books. Sammy Sosa holds third, fifth and sixth place with 66, 64 and 63 homers in 1998, 2001 and 1999.
