Yankees' Aaron Judge gives his bat to Spike Lee after walk-off home run

Aaron Judge delivered a dramatic moment for the New York Yankees on Sunday, but a famous fan may have walked away with the best souvenir from the game.

Judge hit a three-run, walk-off home run in the 10th inning of Sunday’s comeback win over the Houston Astros. The Yankee outfielder didn’t keep the bat as a keepsake, though. He passed it off to director Spike Lee, who was in attendance for the game.

Lee was pretty pleased with his souvenir, as he was spotted waving it around as he left Yankee Stadium.

Lee and the rest of the fans got a pretty good show as the Yankees rallied in the eighth inning to tie the game before Judge’s walk-off.

Judge may have sensed that Lee needed this after what the Knicks did to him this week.
