Regardless of rivalry, this Red Sox fan was still thrilled to catch Aaron Judge's home run

The Yankees got off to a fast start against David Price and the Red Sox in Game 2 of the ALDS on Saturday night. It shouldn't shock anyone that their first run on the board came off the bat of their intimidating young slugger, Aaron Judge.
In the first inning, Judge demolished a pitch from Price that sailed 445 feet and over the furthest edges of the Green Monster in right-center field. The blast caused a hush among the Red Sox faithful at Fenway Park, but one of their fans was happy to end up with the souvenir.
The best part? The generous guy is going to give the ball to one of his friends, who is a Yankees fan:

Who says the rivalry always has to be bitter? That's just an awesome move and a nice reminder that even the most devoted Red Sox fans can respect Judge's ability.
Game recognize game.
