Laterza said he was promised a meet-and-greet with Yankees players at the hotel they were staying at, but Judge was not among that group.
"How about turning around or wave to New York and the kids that think you're a hero? They are the ones who pay your salary. They were disappointed."
Laterza did praise the players that did spend time with his team, emphasizing the positive interactions with other Yankees players.
The Yankees' official X account posted a video of Cole spending extensive time talking to the Little Leaguers and signing autographs for them.
