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:

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.
