Aaron Judge, the New York Yankees captain, is an absolute fan favourite in the vibrant city of New York. His calm demeanour and sheer brilliance on the plate is adored by millions of baseball fans across the world. This season, Judge brought smiles on Yankee fans faces with a MVP level campaign.
That being said, besides the grown-ups, kids and teenagers also look upon Aaron Judge and consider him a great inspiration. Hence, recently Dick’s Sporting Goods organised a camp at the Yankee stadium wherein young kids were allowed to meet their Yankee hero, and Judge had an encounter with a familiar little face.
Caden Cole Interacts With Aaron Judge At ProCamps Event!
Gerrit Cole, the New York Yankees ace and reigning CY Young pitcher, has always enjoyed unwavering support from his family. His wife, Amy Cole, always turns up at his home starts with his elder son, Caden Cole. However, this time around, Caden met none other than Yankee captain Aaron Judge. Dick’s Sporting Goods had organised a ProCamps event at the Yankee Stadium this week to allow young kids a chance to meet and interact with their Yankee idols. Interestingly, Caden was also a part of the camp as he met Judge and shortstop Anthony Volpe. Amy shared stories of Caden taking swings against the Yankee captain. With Judge playfully pitching to him, Caden swung his bat with all his might.
The interaction highlighted Aaron Judge’s kindness and approachability, traits that endear him to fans of all ages. The video of Baby Caden Cole swinging against Aaron Judge quickly went viral, spreading across social media platforms. Many praised Judge for his graciousness and the genuine joy he brought to Caden. Needless to say, events like this one strengthen the bond between the Yankees and their fanbase, particularly the younger generation. Having said that, Gerrit Cole skipped the camp as he was preparing for his next start, which was against the Rangers on Saturday. Notably, Cole skipped a start last week, citing body fatigue. While he returned to action on Sunday against the Jays, his durability remains a matter of concern for the New York Yankees as they strive for a strong postseason push in the final phase of the 2024 MLB season.
Aaron Boone Grateful To Be Able To Watch Judge’s Greatness
Aaron Judge is definitely on a trajectory to script history this year. With 40 home runs in and over 100 RBIs in 111 games, the New York Yankees will certainly end up with a second career MVP and a sensational record breaking season. And Judge’s present form is nothing but a persona of greatness, believed manager Aaron Boone.
“We’re watching greatness. So you try not to take that for granted, what you’re seeing 99 do on the field,” Aaron Boone said. Not only that, the New York Yankees skipper suggested that in few years of now, Aaron Judge will be ranked amongst the greatest franchise legends such as Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio.
