The New York Yankees are currently rebuilding, yet they are winning at the same time thanks to a mixture of grizzled veterans and green rookies who are performing better than expected.
Rookie outfielder Aaron Judge didn’t have a plethora of hype attached to his name prior to the 2017 MLB season, yet he has been one of the main reasons the Yankees have gotten off to a 23-13 start.
After clobbering 13 HR in 36 games, Judge has gone from a relative unknown to gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated.
The other night, Judge, 25, and ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’ teamed up for a hilarious skit in which random Yankees fans don’t realize they are being asked questions about Aaron Judge, BY Aaron Judge.
In fairness, I’m going to go out on a limb and assume dozens of fans immediately realized it was him, as New York is a baseball hub and has been for quite some time.
But the skit was fun nonetheless, and it won’t be long before Judge is recognized everywhere he goes if he indeed continues to blossom into one of MLB’s premier sluggers.
