Aaron Judge's 60th HR Ball Traded for Meet-and-Greet, 4 Signed Balls, Signed Bat

The fan who caught Judge's 60th home run was given a gift package.

Kessler swapped the ball for a meet and greet with Judge in the Yankees' locker room, which included four signed baseballs and a signed bat that wasn't the one used to hit the home run.

Kessler told Hoch that they stood on top of the bleachers to catch the ball. I knew it was a home run, so I jumped and fell. After hitting the top of the bleachers, it bounced toward us. I hugged it after grabbing it.

Judge became the sixth player in baseball history to hit at least 60 homers in a season with his solo shot.

Judge is tied with Babe Ruth for the second most homers in a single season. Roger Maris holds the American League single-season record.

Judge is on track to hit 66 homers by the end of the season. It would tie Sammy Sosa's 1998 campaign for the third most in MLB history if he hits that mark.

The Mets' five-run rally was sparked by the home run. With 15 games left in the season, the Yankees are in control of the American League East with a lead over the BlueJays of 5.5 games.

The Yankees will play the Pirates at home on Wednesday. There is an hour and a half later.
