Fans come up with their top 2022 Aaron Judge moments barring his record-breaking 62nd HR

New York Yankees v Texas Rangers - Game Two
Aaron Judge #99 of the New York Yankees smiles as he rounds the bases after hitting his 62nd home run of the season against the Texas Rangers during the first inning in game two of a double header at Globe Life Field on October 4, 2022 in Arlington, Texas. Judge has now set the American League record for home runs in a single season.

New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge had an astronomical 2022 season. Looking at his record-breaking numbers, he may just be getting started.

While his 62 home runs will go down in the history books and be the talk of the town for years, his re-signing with the Yankees was equally big. Judge signed a whopping $360 million contract with the New York Yankees in December last year, sending the Yankee faithful into delirium.

Bryan Hock, a journalist from NYC, posted earlier today asking the public their favorite Judge moment of 2022. Hock also cheekily explicitly mentions that nobody can refer to home run number 62.

Fans on Twitter had various different moments they cherished and enthusiastically put their favorite memories down.

One fan said exactly what was on most people’s minds, Aaron Judge's re-signing with the Yankees:

Another hastily penned down Judge’s Astros walk off.

One Yankee fan was elated that not only did Judge re-sign, but that he was also named club captain.

This fan's favorite moment was Judge’s #45 which he witnessed live with his parents in Seattle.

Here are a few more of the best memories:

Aaron Judge is the 16th captain in Yankees franchise history

Judge is the 16th captain in the club's history and the first to hold the title since Derek Jeter.

"He's the Captain now! Aaron Judge is officially the 16th Captain in Yankees history." - MLB, Twitter

It looks like everything paid off all too well for Judge. Not only does his love affair with the Big Apple continues, but he’s now at the helm too.

Only time will tell us how well he does next season, but you can be sure to expect nothing short of entertaining stuff.
