New York Yankees might have been going through a rough phase, no doubt about that. Despite starting the 2022 season on a winning note against their arch-rivals, the Boston Red Sox, the Yankees have not been at their best lately.

Although the New York Yankees have not played their best baseball in the past five years, no one can deny that they are the most successful franchise in Major League Baseball. They are one of the very few sports teams that have a global fan following. And to prove that, recently, a football player paid a visit to the Bronx.

Currently, the Yankees are playing a three-game series against the Cleveland Guardians in the Bronx. And to support his favorite baseball team, the Atletico Madrid superstar came to New York all the way from Spain. This speaks volumes about how big the Yankees’ fan base is.

Given the current scenario, even a die-hard Yankees fan would not say this. But no one knows what will happen next in any sport.

Knowing that Aaron Judge is in the last year of his contract with the Yankees, he will do anything to win the World Series this season. Because after the 2022 season, Judge will become a free agent.
