Another home run, another victory. New York Yankees star player Aaron Judge hit his second homer of the postseason and helped his team win and advance to the ALCS. By 5-1, the Yanks won over the Cleveland Guardians in the fifth and final game of the American League Division Series.
With the second homer of the postseason and 64th of this season, Aaron Judge also gave fans a rather beautiful hint that might stop all the rumors going around of his transfer.

The outfielder is set to be a free agent post this season, and this news is not hidden from anyone. The Yankees have previously offered Judge a seven-year contract for $213.5 million, which the athlete has politely declined. The man deserves more and knows it too.
But ever since then, the rumors of his transfer have not stopped. Judge has also teased his fans previously by wearing hoodies saying, “New York or nowhere.” Another incredible gesture from him has now melted the fans and has them thinking that he will be remaining a Yankee.
Aaron Judge melts fan’s hearts with a gesture to the badge
The moment after Aaron Judge came into the dugout after hitting his homer, he kissed the NY logo on his jersey. And if that wasn’t enough for people to know that he’ll be forever a Yankee, he later said that that gesture was for his fans only.

Aaron Judge on kissing the 'NY' on his jersey after his HR:
"It was for the fans. I've been watching a lot of Premier league soccer games and I think that kind of got the best of me. The fans brought the energy tonight from the very first pitch."

Other teams’ fans want him to transfer to their favorite team, but Yankees fans certainly, do not want that to happen. And this recent gesture by All Rise has made them sure that he won’t be leaving New York Yankees any time soon.
His gesture was for his fans. Maybe he’s already signed the contract or maybe not, but that is something to know after the postseason. For now, the only thing to look at is the ALCS against the Houston Astros.
How are the fans reacting to the gesture by Judge?
