In the middle of a tense game between AL East rivals, a Toronto Blue Jays fan had the presence of mind to turn a game-tying home run by New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge into a heart-tugging moment.

With the Blue Jays holding a 1-0 lead in the top of the sixth inning, Judge hit a soaring solo home run into the second deck at Rogers Centre. A fan in the front row wearing a Blue Jays hat retrieved the ball and — instead of throwing it back on the field in disgust — turned around to find a young Yankees fan wearing a Judge shirt … and handed him the home run ball.

His reaction was priceless.

Enjoy the kindness. ?

You don't often see fans of two MLB teams exchange a hug, with some tears also involved, during the middle of a game.

But it was a moment that both fans will long remember.

The home run was Judge's eighth in his last 10 games, tying him with teammate Anthony Rizzo for the most in the majors.
