He has a good swing, he is smart and has a ton of charisma.
Cancer can’t beat that.
ziggy morris Great attitude can solve anything. Inspiring
I thought he would be a weak hitter but I was impressed by how he had cancer and still manages to have that power
ziggy morris Yea a great swing better then mine and I use to play baseball.
Facts
Hey, I’m so sorry to say that Luca passed away in late 2020. We were in 5th grade together.
Why are you so strong?
“Because I can handle this”
One tough kid, yet we complain about the little things in life and we’re perfectly healthy ....
OFFICIAL ROMEO I have hearing loss, I’m grateful that’s all I have.
Ya that gave me chills. Tough kid and has good taste in baseball teams
OFFICIAL ROMEO not me
OFFICIAL ROMEO nobody is "perfectly healthy"
That was powerful man. He doesn’t even understand how powerful that is.
It's makes me cry that Luca wasn't with us to watch Judge break the AL record for home runs with 62 but i'm sure he was watching happily up in heaven. Rest in Peace Luca the world misses you and god bless you.
Aaron Judge is such a nice guy. Happy he’s part of the Yankees. Get better Luca!
Jeffrey House you stupid
Spurs Fan What did I do?
Spurs Fan typical hater stfu
Shaq The Goat
Edgy
Jeffrey House you didn’t do anything wrong he’s just being a dick
Aaron Judge is the definition of a class act 👌🏻
1998 Honda CR-V he’s already so humble and mature .
1998 Honda CR-V or they paid him to do this
Nathan Hansen or you’re the one who sits alone at lunch
1998 Honda CR-V your the kid who gets picked last in dodgeball, just like this kid
Nathan Hansen dude, what you just said was cringe, hold this L
“ Because I Can Handle This” Those Words Probably Will Change My Life Forever
This boy is the meaning of everything from tenacity, to heart and being a strong human. He was an angel. I wish I could hug his parents.
200th like
I am sorry to report that Luca Iacono passed away at 11 years old in November 2019. I read his obituary and cried and cried. I am praying for his Dad and his Mom. I prayed for this kid, I felt he was amazing young person. I loved this kid! At least, Luca got his Make- A-Wish and met Aaron Judge. Had this boy lived I could see him turning pro someday. Rest in Peace, Luca.
Yeah so sad my grandma had just died on the 4th of the month so Lucas death added on to the pain
wait what?????
Oh my god, what a sweet boy! so sad to hear this!
Died Peacefully while holding both of his parents hands :( I’m in tears Rn.
He was a cute kid. His family must miss him very much.
I'm a Red Sox fan and I can't help but love Aarom Judge. What a great guy.
Brennan Perkins same! Go Sox, though!
Yes he's an awesome human being
Respect.
Aaron* lol no problems man(Go Yankees!)
I'm not suprised that Red Sox fans misspell "Aaron" in Judge's name
Aaron Judge is one of the nicest players you’ll ever see
I think its more impressive that the school cares that much about him. Every single person has his back.
Luca is just as strong as that pretty amazing guy in your thumbnail.
He was actually smacking the ball around pretty good in the cage.
who the HELL would dislike this?
that kid is so strong and aaron judge and didi and the rest of the yankees are so kind. how could you not like this
Heartless people. he’s an awesome kid. Parents taught him not to dwell on his condition
Rest In Power Luca. God needed strong soldiers, and you proved more worthy than any of us by the time you were 9. When I grow up, I want to be like you.
😢😢😢
The people who disliked this video have no soul
NY Captain or they just hate the Yankees
yea ur a disgrace nathan
NY Captain did I say I disliked the video? I’m just giving you a reason why some people(not me) dislikes the video
theyre a disgrace nathan
Nah just Red Sox fans
I live in Luca's town. I went to his elementary schools. This morning he passed away and it's been a rough day for us here. Fly High
Every make a wish video always hits my heart man it’s crazy
I'm not crying, you're crying
Noooooooooooooooo! Something in my eye bro!!!
We're all crying lol
Right now Luca is playing with Yankee legends in baseball heaven. Rest in power Luca
he died?
@@johngribbin6945 unfortunately yes
Judge is a nice guy.
I’m a Red Sox fan but I have respect for this 💪
Skyler McGrath I agree! Go Sox!
I'm a lifelong Yankees fan but I respect the Red Sox (and their fans btw) - lol, maybe a bit more this year. The Sox are playing good old fashioned baseball - the big ball, the little ball, base running, defense, and pitching. That will usually land you in first place. Hope Luca gets better.
If you are a red Sox fan I hope when you catch a ball I hope you don't throw the ball in the feild so the yankees don't get out
Skyler McGrath same I’m a Mets fan and I have respect too
I know this comment is old but thank you. Respect to you guys too.
This is why Judge is one of my favorite players. He is so humble and nice / kind.
And that, is reason number 8,999,999 the Yankees are the best baseball team. Thank you New York Yankees for the pleasure you have brought & continue to bring to me & baseball fans everywhere. "All Rise!"
Michael York u act like the Yankees are the only team That Do this Sort Of Thing. Smh. But With my Bostonian Hatred Of New York Out Of the Way, this Was Amazing to See. And I do love Aaron Judge as a Guy and a Baseball Player. I just hate that he is in those God Awful, Ugly as hell Pinstripes. But still a Great Guy. And Admittedly a Great Organization
BMosesM The Red Sox / Yankees rivalry is the best there is in professional sports. The rivalry makes both teams more exciting. I commend your ability to be objective about your "hated Yankees." I do indeed despise your 'ROX," but as a fan of all things baseball, I respect & appreciate them. GO YANKEES!
Michael York I agreed with everything Up until Those last 2 Words... It’s GO SOX!!!! 😂
BMosesM: As much of a die-hard Yankee fan as I am, those fuckers in Boston are a damn good team. The Yankees certainly have their work cut out for them
Ellande Campbell agreed. They are too damn good this year. One of us should grab a baseball bat, hideout at their clubhouse, & gently apply some "Tonya Harding" to their players knees. If you are not old enough to appreciate the Tonya Harding joke, my apologies.
As a met fan I have to say, why one earth did the mets pass on choosing Judge in the draft?!!!! Judge is such a great person and player. Hope he sticks around in NY for his entire career
Think about it. Its the Mets. Stupidity in their organization
Even though I'm all Red Sox fan this is awesome. Good bunch of guys. I had leukemia 3 years ago and lot of chemotherapy at 38 years old. I could never imagine the stress of my child having to go through that. Make a wish does great work
Sean Carroll 👍👍
God bless you Luca. Wish you the best health! Luca strong, you got this 😊👍🏼
Luca was a part of my family and he passed away this morning. RIP Luca, you will be forever loved and missed
I'm just seeing this now but I am so sorry for your loss :-(
I just read that unfortunately Luca passed away in November of 2019. My heart goes out to his family.
Get well Luca.
I'm from Boston and hate the Yankees but after seeing this I was wowed and now love the Yankees. Luca is so strong and thankful for what he has
Aaron Judge is the man. He’s so humble and nice I’m so happy for him
Tough kid, also awesome classmates who are cheering him on. I couldn’t be as strong as that young fighter.
Get better Luca, keep fighting!
I am more proud of this than any win. Judge picks up where Jeter left off. Looking forward to the day Luca is in the farm system working to crack the roster one day!
Dale Frink stop comparing judge and jeter please , jeter was a low key douche bag you just don’t have the inside info to know this but trust me jeter is a douche
robert bogert wow really? Who pissed in your cheerios that you have to have this kind of negativity to a comment about a kid fighting cancer. The only good thing youve done is that I have an excuse to watch this again.
@@robertbogert8257 And you know his family in order to be able to say that? I doubt it. I do, and one and all of them are amazing people.
I live in Middletown NJ but I’m in high school. I’ll have to talk to my neighbor who is younger then me if he knows Luca
CosmicKev 4299 Love to hear a great story from our area (I’m from Holmdel)
What a sweet polite little man! Stay strong Luca!!
I’m not tearing up I just have something in my eyes
Really special kid. Puts things in perspective. I'm 46 and have never been as strong as him a day in my life. Inspirational.
Aaron Judge is like Derek Jeter 2.0 when it comes to stuff outside talent
Mason 11 Agreed
I see your profile picture and I’m wondering if your a Yankees Rangers and Cowboys fan if you are that’s crazy
Cause I am to
Nick Chaknis Dont have a favorite mlb team... BUT YOU’RE A COWBOYS/RANGERS FAN TOO!? HOLY SHIT FINALLY
Mason 11 I’ve been waiting to say the same thing
God Bless this boy and his family. Thankful for ambassadors of the game like Judge & Didi who make young fans committed to the game. This is why I fell in love with baseball so many years ago
I cried watching this. I love my team and I love the tradition that we hold of what it truly means to be a Yankee. Judge is a great example of it. I thank the lord for making me a Yankee. LET’S GO YANKEES! I hope you’re better Luca❤️ #PinstripePride #ChaseFor28 #TheRealBaseballTeam #ILoveBaseball #ILoveMyYankees
This is so incredible. Someone cut onions in my room.
“Why are you so strong?”
“Because I can handle this”
This video brought me to tears. His strength, his endurance and his attitude are hands down an inspiration. They say God gives us this life because we’re strong enough to handle it and this is one amazing, strong little boy. Wishing him all the best. Hats off to the Yankees for making his wish come true!
Like the Yankees or not... you gotta love what a humble dude Judge is. Seems like a genuinely good dude and makes it easy to root for him. Sports needs more like him. Not all these entitled divas.
Your hero did it . Broke the record , he hit #62 tonight.
All the best to you Luca.
😇🙏🌎
He is a good kid I watch him all the time
I hope Lucas becomes a Yankee player one day
That’s what baseball is all about. Giving back. What a brave young boy. So proud of him.
“Because I can handle this” goosebumps
This shit made me cry fam 😪
I couldn’t stop crying Luca was Amazing and the way Judge listened to Luca and encouraged him was Amazing Judge your such a blessing to everyone ⚾️
As a life long, die hard, Boston born Red Sox fan I hope this kid gets to be Yankees fan for decades to come. May he outlive me by a long, long time.
Unfortunately he passed away November 2019.
What a brave and wonderful kid.
Thank you Aaron Judge you’re a great role model #respect.
always a smile on his face. what a brave kid. and as always, judge is the man
The people that disliked this video had so much water and their eyes and missed the like button
This makes me cry every time. Love this
Praying for you Luca
This is beautiful! Great job by Judge and the Yankees! Luca is amazing!
I watch this special every year! This is a wonderful thing that the sports organizations do!
This is a very strong young man god bless him and his family
Man ESPN gets me every time with these stories. A+ job on every one.
I wish for Luca to become a Yankee one day!!
I think I want my future kids to go to his school
What a hero and inspiration..
I love teams and stars/celebs that love meeting young fans and making dreams come true. So awesome
Ooohhh, growing up as a Yankees fan...god bless this kid...
Such a sweet sole that kid has. Doesnt deserve anythign hes going Through
Man I’m not crying, YOU ARE
This is amazing honestly. Much respect Aaron Judge
Luca Doncic, I love ❤️ this boy.
OMG so nice! I've cried so much of joy for this little biddy blessing!
Love this video! Luca is an amazing kid and Judge is a great guy! Both Are Great Inspirations!
What a strong little kid amazing amazing
Such a beautiful personality kids are magical.. preparing for work today another 10 hour day, reminding myself that life is magic, and Luca reminded me to stay positive and smile!
Yankees lineup for 2028:
1st:Luca
2nd:Judge
3rd:Stanton
4th:Sanchez
5th:Didi
6th:Gleyber
7th:Andujar
8th:Bird
9th:Gardy
Replace Bird with Voit.
You do realize that Judge would be 36, Stanton going on 39, Sanchez and Bird would be 35, Didi would be 38, Gardy would be 45, Andujar and Gleyeber are actually reasonable they would be 33 (Andujar) and 31 (Torres) Luca would be 19, assuming he would be up 3 weeks in to the year for an extra year of control.
Luca hits a 600 ft bomb first pitch of the game
So Brett Gardner is going to still be playing when he’s 44 years old?🤣🤣
@@thunderwilt6140 Luca hits 600 ft bombs every at bat and throws a no hitter every game
“You just don’t know what’s gunna happen” -Luca
Love these videos. It makes you understand that everyday problems are nothing compared to what these kids go through.
Keep fighting little dude. NYY class act for doing this from a Jays fan.
I don’t even watch baseball or know enough about the teams to know who these players are but to see Luca and how excited he was to meet his favorite team put a huge grin on my face. Huge respect for the Yankees.
God bless you Luca.
2:56 😣😢😭 I'm done Luca got me. #LucaStrong because he CAN handle this. ☝️✊ Miami, Florida got you bro.
Man Luca is a tough kid. Get better soon buddy!
God bless you in heaven you sweet pure soul. My heart and soul to your family.
