What part of New York City does Aaron Judge enjoy the most?
Born and brought up in Sacramento, California, Judge grew up as a fan of the MLB team, the San Francisco Giants. But his tremendous play made him a New Yorker and brought him to the Big Apple. However, one of the things that most people in the city would prefer to avoid is the massive crowd at Times Square.
However, Judge is someone who would enjoy it the most. While gearing up for his sophomore season with the Yanks, All Rise revealed why he liked the disneyfied neighborhood of the city. In an interview with Complex.com in 2018, he said, “I enjoyed it just because there were so many tourists that not a lot of people recognized me. People didn’t know who I was. I could walk around Times Square whenever I wanted and not really get bothered too much.”
After having one great season in the Bronx, if the baseball player had decided to roam around freely, people would have bugged him a lot. Thus, at the place where most New Yorkers try to stay away from, Big Aaron Judge got peace.
What’s next for Judge?
If not for the prestigious World Series title, Aaron Judge has won almost everything in Major League Baseball while playing for the New York Yankees. Although winning the AL MVP in 2022 was a big honor for the Yankees slugger, Judge’s main aim is to win the silverware with the Yanks and end their title drought.
