Follow Us
Aaron Judge is once again proving why he’s one of the best in the league. The New York Yankees captain excels in not just baseball but is great with comebacks, too. After bizarre cheating allegations at a recent game vs the Toronto Blue Jays, Judge cleared up the situation. During the next game of the series, All-Rise hit yet another home run at Rogers Center that broke a maple leaf perched at the top of the second deck. It was undoubtedly a game filled with an unfortunate series of events, one of which was Judge covering his eyes after the home run.
And as of Wednesday’s game, it seems like the Captain is still not over Dan Shulman and Buck Martinez’s comments about him. After yet another home run, he proceeded to throw shade at Toronto once again.

After Aaron Boone got ejected from the first game of the series, the Yankees dugout was rather loud for Judge’s liking. His shifty eyes wanted them to quiet down but the move sparked a debate about whether Judge was looking for hints about the pitcher. The outfielder later spoke about how he wasn’t happy with the cheating accusations. Clearly, Judge is still feeling it.

“I’m not happy about it, but people can say what they want. I’ve still got a game to play. I’ve got things to do,” he said on Tuesday. Judge added that he had some ‘choice words’ to say to the broadcasters too but kept them to himself. Rather, he showed his feelings in the next game.

Petty judge is the best 🤣 that’s what happens Toronto when you make this game about more than the actual baseball being played

Some baseball fans pointed out that a player from a different team doing it would not receive the same treatment.
Yet when any other player not on the Yankees does something like this you think it's cringe
