VIDEO: Aaron Judge Meets Fan Whose Dad and Former Fresno State Baseball Player Tragically Passed
By Daniel Marcillo
For a larger than life superstar, Aaron Judge has always been a gentle giant and a fan favorite due to his genuine heart. In Oakland, Judge had the opportunity to meet and greet Kellen Wilson before Tuesday's game, a young man who tragically lost his father at the young age of 36. Wilson's dad, Kyle, played his collegiate baseball at Fresno State University, the same school Judge attended.
Kellen lives all the way across the country, which does give him a chance to see his favorite players often. The Yankees did not take batting practice before their meeting with the A's, either, with made the surprise for Kellen even sweeter.
Judge sent the jersey Kellen had on back in December, and he was more than happy to sign it for him Tuesday.
To cap off an amazing night, Judge hit a monstrous home run. In so many respects, not a bad way to spend an evening.
