Aaron Judge meeting Derek Rodriguez. He’s only nine. Such a sweet moment. pic.twitter.com/4G1oAChWYF

Judge met Rodriguez before the game. He told reporters that he was going to watch the video of the moment between the two fans.

Judge told reporters that it doesn't matter what jersey you wear. Everybody is a fan of this game. That is pretty cool. I have to check that video out.

The Yankees have an 18-6 record and are in the American League East. Rodriguez has had an amazing few days, and another win over the Blue Jays would be the icing on the cake.
