New York Yankees got a new captain in Aaron Judge. After eight years, Brian Cashman finally found someone deserving to fill the vacancy made by Derek Jeter in 2014. By the end of the historic 2022 season, Aaron Judge made himself the most loved MLB player. Last year was the last of Judge’s contract with the Yankees. As he went to the free agency proceeding, no teams left a single opportunity to provide the demanding offer to him, including the GIANTS and the PADRES.
However, just as Aaron Judge decided to maintain his legacy by staying with the Yankees and also becoming the captain of the team, fans were overwhelmed enough. They loved this heroic decision of Judge and welcomed him with open hearts in the New York Rangers game. When Aaron Judge attended the Rangers game, he was welcomed as a hero at Madison Square Garden on Monday. He was there to attend the New York Rangers NHL clash against Florida Panthers.
And as the lucky Judge was present, the Rangers held a grand 6-2 victory. Meanwhile, Judge’s face appeared on the screens, collecting the best receptions of the entire night. On the official Twitter account of Rangers on MSG, they shared the video of Aaron Judge featured on the screen. A thousand fans liked the post. Aaron Judge is indeed a superstar of New York, and sometimes he gets to see the love practically.
The 62-home-runner slugger is enjoying his off-season too well. Not only to support the Rangers but he also went to attend the New York Knicks the next day. The Talkin’ Yanks and the Talking Nicks uploaded a glimpse of Aaron Judge at the Garden saying he is here once again.
Yankees Being Optimistic With Aaron Judge Back To The Team
By signing the new career-ending, nine years, $360 million contract with New York Yankees, Aaron Judge became the 16th captain of the Bronx Bombers. With his spectacular 62-record-breaking home runs, he won the MVP in 2022. He just set a new record for making the most home runs in a season in American Major League Baseball.
It has been 14 years since the Yankees did not see the championship trophy, but it seems like the winless duck is on the verge of getting broken. This time, with captain Judge and the best rotations, New York is being optimistic about the future. They are hoping to win this season finally.
Aaron Judge will stay in the Yankees till he turns 39, and till then, he has committed to guiding the team in the best way to pave the way for victory. Judge’s free contract period itself is proof of what importance he keeps in MLB. Not just that he made a 62 home run in 2022, but he has always been a good player. Just when he was a rookie, Yankees manager Boone knew he was something different. He knew this guy would do something great one day. Back in 2016, he once said that he would like to become a lifetime Yankee, and he did it.
