Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees are a match made in heaven. Ever since his big league debut, Judge has never played for any other MLB team but the Yankees. He is one of the very few MLB players who are also a great leader for the team.

Knowing that the Yankees have been struggling in MLB for over four to five years, Judge has never complained about the Pinstripes. Given his consistent performances and leadership skills, Judge has become the fan favorite for The Bronx Bombers.

Recently, Judge’s teammate Joey Gallo and DJ LeMahieu heaped praise on Aaron Judge. They called him the captain of the New York Yankees.
