The kid who was able to catch Aaron Judge’s 60th home run could be the purest fan of baseball alive: At the end of Tuesday’s game at Yankee Stadium, Aaron Judge was one strike away of hitting his 60th homer of the year, which would make him the sixth player who have accomplished this feat. The final ball that flew over the fence very valuable, and made left field the best place that should be located in Bronx since that’s the area the area where Judge hits the most of his homers this year.
Naturally, all kinds of dollar figures were used in the world of Darren Rovells of online world. What would the ball be worth? $20,000? $100,000? $500,000? $1 million? Dr. Evil voice ONE BILLION DOLLARS?!?!?!? Okay, it wasn’t going to be a billiondollars, but seven-figures and six figures are not possible for the person who emerged from the scrum carrying the ball.
Michael Kessler, a 20-year-old Yankee fan from New York, was the fan who snatched Judge’s solo hit to bleachers on the left side at the final moments of ninth. In exchange, he got an amazing amount that was … zero dollars. Wait, WHAT?!?! ?
As you would expect the young man was ripped to shreds over the internet. “FLEECED!” they yelled. “I would have been there all night negotiating!” they shouted. A variety of uncalled for and unintentional names were thrown around, too. While certain points were valid, the one thing they failed to take into account was the fact that Kessler is an extremely nice person and possibly the most pure baseball fan in existence.
Kessler could have handed over many thousands of dollars in this decision however, you can’t place a value on being a truly good human. If no one can be able to accuse you of being greedy and you choose to not be greedy, it requires an extremely kind heart. In the event that we discover that he was negotiating to get Judge to return the following season Kessler merits a statue in Monument Park.
The Yankee Legend, some of his teammates as well as Aaron Judge. Fantastic night for Kessler who will never regret his decision within twenty decades (hopefully).
