New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge is in the spotlight once again. However, this time it is because of his belt.
Judge wore a non-numbered belt during spring training. But like all other players, he also wears a uni-numbered belt. Although his jersey number is 99, he was spotted wearing 66 on his belt, possibly due to it being upside down.
Several fans believe that Judge does not know that his belt is upside down, while others think it is a ritual that he follows. Another reason could be the fact that it has something to do with his teammate Kyle Higashioka, whom he exchanged belts with.
There is, however, another explanation for this. In 2022, Judge smashed 62 home runs for the New York Yankees. The number "66" on his belt might be the number of home runs he's targeting this season.
Until he himself confirms or denies these possibilities, the discussion regarding Judge's belt will continue.
