Aaron Judge has come a long way to become an icon of New York sports. Several legends have played for the NY Yankees over the years. Can the California native end up among them when he eventually hangs up his boots? Well, he should, as he has proved on multiple occasions that he is one of the best power hitters of all time. The California native broke 1961’s record of Roger Maris (61 single-season home runs). In 2022, he would eventually be the then-biggest free agent. But he raised his value when he hit 62 home runs, which earned him the American League record.
Later, he signed the biggest Yankees free agent signing, which is a nine-year deal worth $360 million. Then, the franchise made him their 16th captain. Hence, Aaron Judge should always be remembered as a Yankee great. However, it is not just with batting performance that the California native gains attention but also his fashion sense. The 2022 AL MVP loves to pay homage to the Big Apple with his batting gloves that have the same color as the Statue of Liberty.
With Mint-Colored Gloves, Aaron Judge Pays Tribute To New York
JASON SZENES FOR THE NEW YORK POST
Some fans in New York call the Yankees captain ‘The Lewis Hamilton of Baseball.’ In recent years, the 2022 AL MVP has become a popular fashion icon in North American sports. The moment became electrifying when Aaron Judge hit his 300th career Home Run at the Guaranteed Rate Field of the White Sox. Judge’s teammates were so happy and excited that they mobbed him when he reached the plate. The crowd’s cheer and roar could not have been louder, and the dugout erupted. Moreover, fans noticed during this jubilation that the Yankees captain was sporting mint gear. But it was not his lucky charm. This year, the sea foam and green-colored accessories made waves. Aaron Judge was wearing the same colored armband and his batting glove.
It was his way of paying tribute to New York City, as the Statue of Liberty is the most iconic landmark. This landmark features the same patina color. Moreover, the captain had said that he had been wearing the same armband and gloves his whole MLB career. He wanted to pay “A little tribute to the city and to what the Statue of Liberty means.” Judge said, “It feels pretty cool.” It is not just for fashion, as per the Yankees captain, it is a homage to the heritage of NYC. The 2022 AL MVP had told the New York Post that he loves the mint-colored accessories and feels it goes really well with the Pinstripe uniform.
Who’s The King Of New York Baseball?
The most popular answer would be Babe Ruth. After all, he is the GOAT. Moreover, the frequent home run hits of the Bambino have made him the King of the Big Apple. However, times have changed. Aaron Judge has dethroned Babe Ruth as the most frequent homer hitter at the Yankee Stadium. Other than the Bambino, Judge is the one of only two players to hit 50 home runs in three different single seasons.
It has taken 90 years for someone to dethrone Babe Ruth as the King Of New York. Officially, it is Aaron Judge going forward. He is on pace to break his own AL single-season HR record of 62 homers. He can very well make it to 63 this year. But can Judge make it to 73? That’s the question.
