On Tuesday, an Aaron Judge home run went viral after a Blue Jays fan gave the home run ball to a young fan donning Judge’s jersey.
Well, that fan’s life just keep getting better. Before Wednesday’s Yankees-Blue Jays game, nine-year-old Derek Rodriguez, got a chance to meet his favorite player. Mike Lanzillotta, the fan who initially caught the ball, was also invited down to meet the players.
It was a heartwarming moment that Judge said he was grateful for.
“It was a special moment,” Judge said, via Newsday’s Erik Boland.
