People with wealth have a language of their own where everything is a reflection of their luxury. Sportspersons, especially, are known to show off their assets in one way or another. One of these is cars, which some MLB players, like Aaron Judge, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, etc., are known for. Judge has previously shown up to games in some stunning rides and he’s doing the same for the upcoming season too. However, the new Yankees captain isn’t the only one to do so.

Pro baseballer Pablo Sandoval is making use of his considerable assets to polish up his wheels too. And he’s employing longtime friend Alex Vega of The Auto Firm for the job, who just so happens to have helped out Judge too. For the unversed, Vega is a popular choice among stars from various fields and his clients include singer Akon, Starling Marte, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. from the baseball world. The talented mechanic recently helped out his friend Sandoval with a custom job too.
