Yankees fan to Aaron Judge: "Thank you for everything you've done for New York" 

Even during the offseason, Aaron Judge continues to bring joy and happiness to New York Yankees fans. The 2022 American League MVP recently partnered up with NBC television host Jimmy Fallon in New York to surprise Yankees fans at the MLB Store.

The umpire and catcher disguise combination used by the two seemed to work well, as fans were left shocked and their reactions were priceless. While Jimmy Fallon is a popular figure in his own right, it was clear that most fans were thrilled at the opportunity to meet the recently crowned MVP.

"Thank you for everything you've done for New York," said one Yankees fan.

Most Yankees fans are grateful to Judge for his contribution to the team this season. It is no secret that Judge carried the club on his shoulders. He led the league in most major offensive categories, and the Yankees could not have made the deep playoff run they did without him.

Aaron Judge has become a leader and a symbol of the team to the Yankees faithful. All you have to do is look at the reactions of some fans when Judge removes his catcher's mask.

After the season he completed in 2022, Judge has gone from being popular with the fans to a Yankees hero.

With the offseason now in full swing, the New York Yankees outfielder has a lot on his mind. Judge has officially entered the free agency market, and there is a long list of teams interested in his services, including the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers.

It was great to see the recently crowned MVP take some time out of his busy schedule to socialize and hang out with the fans.

Whether Aaron Judge returns to the Bronx in 2023 is yet to be determined. Some Yankees fans might take his willingness to attend this event with Jimmy Fallon as a sign that he is staying.

The All-Star slugger has, on numerous occasions, spoken of his desire to remain in the Big Apple. Fans would be hoping this is not the last of Aaron Judge in New York.
