A kind gesture from a Toronto Blue Jays fan has gone viral online after he gifted a home-run ball to a nearby Yankees fan during a May 4 game in Toronto.

When the New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge struck a home run to left field in the sixth inning, the camera followed the flying baseball into the seats at Rogers Centre, where a Blue Jays fan, Mike Lanzillotta, scooped up the ball, raising his arms in a split second of victory.
