It wasn't a matter of tall. If it's the play I remember, the ball was dropping vertically more than it was traveling horizontally. If the kid hadn't reached over the rail, the outfielder probably would have made the catch. I'll see if I can find a picture on the Web, or maybe somebody else remembers.
I do remember that the kid's father later contacted the Yankees and asked for some sort of compensation for the help his kid gave. Don't know if he hired lawyers or not.
