Aaron Judge is coming off a fantastic 2022 season. He was one of the best players in the League last year and helped the Yankees reach 99 wins. Furthermore, he established himself as one of the best players in the league by having his best season. 

Although Judge had been a star before that, his 2022 season really helped cement his place among MLB’s elite. Furthermore, he won the 2022 AL MVP award as well. Judge recently officially took home the award and fans reacted to the moment. 

Aaron Judge finally took home the AL MVP trophy

In 2022, Aaron Judge was awarded the AL MVP after a fantastic season in which he hit 62 home runs. But although he was named MVP in November last year, he officially received the trophy only recently. The Yankees shared a photo of the moment on Twitter and asked if anyone had doubts about Judge winning. Judge was fully dressed up in a suit and tie for the occasion.

In the Tweet, the Yankees said, “Any objections? Didn’t think so.” The way that the Yankees played last year, both in the regular season and postseason, it makes sense that he won the award. Furthermore, Judge was a crucial part of their entire year.
