Yankees Star Aaron Judge Tops MLB's Jersey Sales for 3rd Straight Year
By Parker White
Even though he missed a lot time this year, New York Yankees star outfielder Aaron Judge still reigns supreme.
His threads sit atop Major League Baseball's jersey sales for the third consecutive season.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that a member of the Yankees is receiving this kind of recognition, especially a guy like Judge, who is more of a fan-favorite than a polarizing figure.
What's more impressive is that he beat out some of the biggest names and faces in the game, all of whom are his direct competitors. Rounding out the top five is Bryce Harper, Cody Bellinger, Javier Baez and Christian Yelich.

The Chicago Cubs (Baez, Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant) and Houston Astros (Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, George Springer) are the only teams with three players in the top-20, while the Mets snuck Pete Alonso and Jacob deGrom in there.
The biggest shock? Mike Trout, the game's best, sitting at No. 9. How terribly sad.
