When it comes to great moments in the stands, it’s so easy to think back to early May where a Blue Jays fan in Toronto caught a home run from Aaron Judge and immediately gave the baseball to a young Yankees fan. It was a simple act of kindness that captured the attention of the entire baseball world.
On Tuesday night, though, we saw the other side of that spectrum take place at Yankee Stadium. And honestly, it was tough to watch.
The broadcast from the Yankees’ win over the Orioles showed Judge retrieving a foul ball down the right-field line and looking to give a young fan a memorable experience with a souvenir. Judge was placing the baseball directly in the young fan’s glove when an adult Yankees fan swooped in and took the baseball to the complete shock of everyone around them.
