I told hubs I bet Judge signs that ball, for the kid.

I'm sure he signed it. The kid was still holding on to the ball like it was made of gold.

It was really good to see the innocence of youth. The hug that kid gave the fan last night was just great.

The kid was wiping away tears, in complete awe of Judge & Aaron squatted down to talk to him at eye level.

I’ll have to look for that vid. Thanks, gub.

Judge is right....that’s part of what makes this sport so special.

What a genuinely nice guy Aaron Judge seems to be. I found the vid, of them meeting....priceless ...

Last night, 9-year-old Derek Rodriguez was given @TheJudge44's home run ball by Mike Lanzillotta

Today, they both got to meet Aaron before the game. ❤️

We are crying too. 🥺 pic.twitter.com/fmGwEv9Xgv— MLB (@MLB) May 4, 2022
