CINCINNATI, Oh. (WKYT) - A young boy from Jessamine County went home a winner Friday night.

Danica King says her son was at the Reds-Yankees game Friday night, when Aaron Judge hit his 233rd home-run and 13th of the season.

In the outfield, another fan collided with the boy to catch the ball, but once he realized it was a child, he immediately handed the prize over, without any hesitation.

Danica says this was also her sons first ever MLB game.

The fan didn't hesitate to hand over the keepsake momento.
