“That Was in College” – Yankees Star Aaron Judge Once Had to Explain Why He Was Wearing Rival Team Red Sox’s Jersey in an Infamous Picture

The New York Yankees v/s Boston Red Sox is the fiercest rivalry of all time in the Major League Baseball. The Yankees star player, Aaron Judge, once caused a stir among the Yankees and Red Sox fans when a picture of him wearing the t-shirt of his rival team resurfaced on the Internet.

Aaron is the face of the New York Yankees, and while his fans love him, they could not bear him wearing a rival team’s jersey.

It was really hard for the Yankees fans to digest that the picture even exists. And when a player of the team was wearing the other team’s jersey, it was bound for people questioning about it.

Why was Aaron Judge wearing a Red Sox jersey?

Amid the resurfacing of the photo, Aaron Judge ensured to cast away all the doubts of the beloved fans.

When asked by The Post Game, the Yankees outfielder said, “That was in college, the summer before I got a chance to go play in the Cape Cod League. My host family were big Red Sox fans and got me some Red Sox gear. I get asked about it all the time, like, ‘How could you be wearing that shirt?’ It was six years ago, guys.”

In his college days, Judge played for the Brewster Whitecaps. Considering that the interview took place four years ago, the picture is about ten years old now.

In the same interview, he also got asked if he still had that t-shirt. To this, he replied, “I got no idea. Might be back at home.”
