When on September 20, Judge hit his 60th home run of the season, the first to reach that figure since Barry Bonds when he set the all-time record in 2001 with 73, the same year that Sammy Sosa hit 64, the fan who caught the ball, named Michael Kessler, never hesitated to return the ball to his idol, and he was rewarded by meeting ‘The Judge’ inside the Yankees facility, as well as receiving an autographed bat and balls, in addition to the photo to remember with the historic baseball player.
