A leader always leads by example. And the current captain of the New York Yankees, Aaron Judge, would be the perfect example of the same. Aside from winning hearts by showing his incredible skills on the field, Judge is winning over them off the field as well. Judge’s popularity is ever-increasing, even with the simplest of gestures for his fans.
Recently, the AL Home Run King, ‘Big’ Aaron Judge, in his free time, went to see a game of the National Hockey League with his wife, Samantha Bracksieck. There, ‘All Rise’ made a small yet sweet gesture for a young fan of his that he’ll probably never forget.

What did Aaron Judge do for his young fan?
As Judge sat wearing the jersey of New York Rangers’ captain Artemi Panarin, a young fan came toward him from a couple of rows away and tried to click a selfie with Judge in the background. However, as Judge saw the kid trying to take a selfie with him, he wanted to feel included.
Hence, the mighty captain joined his young fan in his selfie by making a victory gesture. A hockey fan from behind managed to capture this beautiful moment on TikTok, which then got shared by Cut4 on their Twitter handle.
