Heartwarming ballpark moment

This week at Rogers Centre in Toronto, the hometown Blue Jays were playing the New York Yankees. Nothing unusual about that. The cool thing though is the reason I am telling you this story. 

Yankees player Aaron Judge's eighth home run in 10 games traveled 427 feet and into the hands of a ... of a Toronto fan. No problem. Seeing a Yankee fan nearby, the man who caught the homerun ball, went over and gave it to this young boy. If you were watching on tv, you would have seen the raw emotion that followed. Oh my!

Young fan had tears of joy upon receiving Judge's ball, but the story doesn't end there.  After the game, both the Blue Jays fan who caught the ball, and the young Yankees fan he gave it to, went down to the Yankee dugout and met Aaron Judge.  What followed were more tears, and I ballpark experience both fans will never forget.

This is the kind of thing I would love to see more of.  This is pure kindness!
