With the year almost about to end, the New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge has been awarded yet another accolade. The experienced outfielder started the year by betting on himself to hit 50 homers this season. And he is now ending the year by not only accomplishing his bet but also proving his worth. Thanks to his remarkable season, Judge outshined NBA star Stephen Curry and fellow MLB star Shohei Ohtani and bagged another award. However, this did not sit right with fans.

Recently, All Rise won the AP Male Athlete of the Year Award, and instead of congratulating the Yankees star, some fans went on to bash him for winning it ahead of Ohtani and Curry.

Did Aaron Judge not deserve to win the prestigious award ahead of Ohtani and Curry?

Winning over the two-way star Shohei Ohtani and four-time NBA Champion Stephen Curry was not an easy feat, but Aaron Judge did it in style. He narrowly cut to beat out last year’s winner, Ohtani, and the Warrior’s Curry to get the votes of 40 sportswriters and editors around the country.

“Undeserving” and “other players are better than him” are just two of the comments that the sports fans said about the title wrongfully given to the Yankees captain.
