VIDEO: Celebrate Aaron Judge's 28th Birthday With Excellent Montage of His Monster Bombs
By Adam Weinrib
Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is theoretically right in the middle of his prime, as he turns 28 on Sunday. Unfortunately, the coronavirus put a halt to MLB action, and Judge is hampered in his ramp-up regardless, fighting off a pesky rib fracture. So, what better time than the present to celebrate The Judge's many rulings than with a birthday montage of his best dingers?
And yeah, those came off some brand names. Tell Justin Verlander to do a bit better with the fastball next time, huh?
Whether it's oppo, pulled, or blasted to dead center, every variety of an Aaron Judge home run ball is generally breathtaking. That otherworldly power, combined with his on-base skills and leadership qualities, will eventually result in Judge being named team captain, we'd assume.
It all began for The Judge in 2017, when he rocketed a remarkable 52 dingers as a rookie (which should've been 53, if not for an unfortunate scoring mishap against St. Louis early in the season).
Perhaps we'll get back to baseball soon, and Judge can make a run to his first MVP award, avenging the one that was stolen from him in 2017.
The time for revenge is now, New York! Happy birthday, kid. Plenty of accolades still to come.
