Home run hero Aaron Judge gave two Yankees fans a souvenir ball and they went crazy

It's hard to imagine there's somebody more popular in baseball (or on the planet) right now than Aaron Judge. The 6-foot-7, 282-pound slugger is mashing his way through the first month of the season, destroying TVs in BP, making diving catches into enemy territory and getting Twitter shoutouts from Hall of Famers. And guess what? During the Yankees' 8-6 win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday, the 25-year-old went yard again -- a record 13 in his team's first 26 games. There's nothing hotter in NYC right now, not even instagramming those rainbow bagels from Brooklyn.
So. when Judge delivered a baseball to two huge Yankees fans over the right-field fence in between innings, it's no surprise they reacted like so.
Thomas McKay, a self-proclaimed "Yankees fan since birth," is the youngster who received the souvenir from the dinger-making god. Here he is pictured with his sister and best friend after the moment courtesy of MLB.com Real-Time Correspondent Randall Whitney:
It's good to be a Yankees fan right now and it's very good to be Aaron Judge.
