"I’d next like to announce our divorce" - Sportscaster Sara Walsh posts a special message for husband and Blue Jays bullpen coach Matt Buschmann for giving up Aaron Judge's 61st HR ball for nothing
Sara Walsh, an NFL Network reporter, responded hilariously when her husband returned Aaron Judge's 61st home run ball.
After a fan dropped the ball into the bullpen, Matt Buschmann, the pitching coach for the Toronto Blue Jays, ended up with a historic item of memorabilia. Buschmann and reliever Jordan Romano handed the ball to the Yankees, which later ended up with Patty Judge, the mother of the team's star outfielder.
Walsh was quick to poke fun at her husband for his generosity, joking that she wanted a divorce.
Here's Walsh's tweet:
Oh cool. He just handed that back without checking to see if our house is still here? I’d next like to announce our divorce. https://t.co/37HmHIoomS

Judge made history on Wednesday night when he tied Roger Maris' AL single-season record for home runs with 61. After more than a week of misses, Judge finally delivered in Toronto, with both the Judge and Maris families in attendance. Their perseverance paid off in the top of the seventh, when the score was tied.
61 years since 61.

Judge made his MLB debut in 2016. He was named an All-Star and became the first rookie to win the Home Run Derby in 2017.
Sara Walsh reported in depth about the incident
Walsh, who tied the knot with Buschmann in 2014, started a humorous Twitter thread about the incident.

Matt Buschmann wasn’t forced to give the ball back but he handed it over to Zack Britton. @Busch26 told me:
“The Judge and Maris family have been flying all over the country. They deserve to have that ball.” #bluejays
