Aaron Judge’s suspicious look towards the New York Yankees dugout has the baseball world talking.

When a former MVP is accused of cheating, it’s bound to be big news. Judge's glance seems to have cast some doubts about the outfielder's integrity. The fact that Judge rocketed Jay Jackson's next pitch 462 feet leads to more questions than answers.

Well-known MLB analyst and reporter for the New York Post, Jon Heyman, was recently asked about Judge's notorious home run.

"Whatever he was looking at, it’s not cheating"

Heyman went on to say that as long as technology was not used, there was no problem with what was going on.

"'If you're able to glance over and hit a 462 ft HR. It's not cheating'

The highly respected reporter did state that the cover story was "a little bit unusual."

Monday’s 7-4 win against Toronto Blue Jays was a drama-filled night for the Yankees.

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Jay Jackson later admited that he was possibly tipping pitches when facing Judge.

Judge inisits that he was simply looking towards his bench due to the noise coming from the dugout. The Yankees players had started chirping after manager Aaron Boone was ejected for questioning the umpires.

Aaron Judge currently ranks fouth in the MLB with 12 home runs

New York Yankees slugger Judge has picked up right where he left off last season.

The 31-year-old has 12 home runs, 28 RBIs, 36 hits and 28 runs after 36 games. Judge has an impressive .279/.381/.612 slash line and a .993 OPS.

Judge hitting home runs in not abnormal. The fact that he hit a digger right after shifting his eyes has baseball fans talking. Judge may have been looking at his dugout or first base coach, but it is highly improbable that the four-time All-Star was involved in any foul play.
