It was The Kid who caught the ball from the home run hit by Aaron Judge

just a few days ago, Judge Aaron reached one of the most remarkable records in the history of the MLB.

And that’s it, the gardener of the New York Yankees matched what Babe Ruth did in the 1931 season, hitting at least eight home runs in 22 games that season.

Along with Anthony Rizzo, Judge has reached that bar, which positions them as two of the most important players in the league.

During one of the last games of the season, against the Toronto Blue Jays, Aaron experienced one of the most emotional episodes of the tournament.

Specifically, Judge had an exhibition game, hitting a home run and causing three runs in the 9-1 victory.

The ball Aaron kicked into the stands was picked up by a Toronto fan, but the fan decided to give it to a nearby child.

All because the child wore the 99 shirt, with Judge’s name on the back, for which he received a unique gift.

Tears invaded the little boy, while on the Yankees bench everything was happiness, after the strike that the outfielder landed.

“It’s a moment that’s been seen all over the world. Praise the Blue Jays fans. It’s a good connection.”

The identity of the boy, who said his name was 9-year-old Dererk Rodríguez, was later revealed.

The fan is Venezuelan and considers Aaron one of his big diamond idols. So it was emotional to have the ball he hit.

In addition, little Derek had the opportunity to meet the Yankees player in person.

Rodríguez, once again, shed tears, because the emotion of seeing his idol up close was a unique moment in his life.

Derek’s family was also able to step onto the pitch, take a photo with the players and have a great time.
