Yankees fan secretly swipes Aaron Judge home run away as supporter who caught ball celebrates with friends
NY Post
Aaron Judge did as Aaron Judge usually does and homered into the right field seats in the fourth inning at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night.
But that’s only where the interesting part in The Bronx began.
Padres right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. leaped at the wall and couldn’t make the catch — but a fan in the first row of the stands did, snagging Judge’s 12th long ball of the season.
The green-jersey-wearing fan who caught the ball in his glove started celebrating with a group of supporters, jumping up and down in pure jubilation.
Only there was one problem.
Amid the exaltation in the seats, the ball trickled out of the fan’s glove and rolled along the top of the wall in front of a fan in a gray jersey, who slyly snagged the ball and pocketed it, seemingly without the other group knowing.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
