Juan Soto's fans
Washington Nationals fans Philip and Aidan Druhan from Bethesda, Md., were on the receiving end of Juan Soto’s 428-foot home run in the second inning of Sunday’s 9-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies at Nationals Park, high above one’s head, in the first row of the second deck in right field.
The most astonishing chatter was that Aiden (Son) had told his father Philip Druhan that they would be watching the Nationals on Father’s Day and he would get the chance to catch Juan Soto’s home run.
Philip (Father) was been tired from a stressful day of work on Saturday when Aidan put forward the idea of going to the game the next afternoon. But Aidan was passionate about it, and he purchased tickets in the front row of section 239 around 9:30 p.m. specifically with Juan Soto’s 14th homer of the season in mind. It landed right at their seats.

Nationals fan responds to Juan Soto’s Father’s Day special homer
“We had to do something for Father’s Day,” said Aidan. “He works so hard, he does so much. You have to celebrate it, and I just wanted to show him how much we appreciate him and everything he does. So, I was like, ‘We’re going to this game. We’re doing it. We’re going to sit up here …’”
“‘And you’re going to catch a home run ball,’” Philip finished the sentence.
“It’s right in his power alley, I can’t put it into words,” said Aidan. “I got choked up at the moment [of the home run]. As soon as he caught that ball and as soon as we hugged right afterwards, it’s a lifelong memory.”
“It’s a moment that they might never forget, and I’m glad to be part of it,” said Juan Soto. “It just feels amazing. It makes me feel [like] when I go to the games when I used to be a little kid and my dad just took me all over the place. He took me to my first professional game when I was six months old.”
Soto autographed the ball for the Druhans, who also snapped a photo with manager Dave Martinez after the game
