Aaron Judge's childhood in full detail

Yes, the Yankees' star slugger, Aaron Judge, was adopted by Patty and Wayne Judge, whose last name he shares. The two are former educators from Linden, California. According to reports, the two lead quiet, private lives. When you first meet them, you would never guess that their kid is a Major League Baseball star.

“So I started asking questions, and they told me I was adopted and answered all my questions, and that was that. I was fine with it. It really didn’t bother me because that’s the only parents I’ve known.’’ - Aaron Judge via the New York Post (2015)
"I feel they kind of picked me,'' Judge said. "I feel that God was the one that matched us together. Some kids grow in their mom's stomach; I grew in my mom's heart. She's always showed me love and compassion ever since I was a little baby. I've never needed to think differently or wonder about anything" - Aaron Judge abiut his mother Patty Judge via the New York Post (2015)

Aaron Judge is a freakishly good athlete. He stands over six feet tall and weighs more than 120 kg. He made a name for himself in the 2022 campaign by breaking Roger Maris' record of 61 home runs and winning the MVP award for the Yankees.

His statistics were incredible; he had the second-highest batting average (.311), the top home runs, runs batted in, and OPS, and the best ranking for the number of wins he would replace in terms of comparable rankings.

Aaron Judge is destined for greatness with the New York Yankees

A World Series victory is what fans want Aaron Judge to deliver. Since the New York Yankees last won the World Series, the Giants, Red Sox, Astros, Cardinals, Royals, Cubs, Nationals, Dodgers, and Braves have all won it.

Last year's playoffs at Yankee Stadium will be remembered for the boos ringing around the ground for Judge because he failed to hit. His postseason batting average is.211. The Yankees have a 21-23 record in the postseason with Judge in their ranks.

"2023 It’s the season!!" - MarkAlbertRojas

Whether or not the Bronx Bombers fill their roster gaps before Opening Day, the 2023 season will have all eyes on them. The team is designed to compete, but it will be interesting to see if they are able to make enough progress since 2022 to keep up with other contenders.
