2022 AL MVP Aaron Judge Once Channeled His Inner-Superhero Before Becoming a Real Superhero for New Yorkers

Following a year of superiority, and eventually winning the 2022 AL MVP award, Aaron Judge has undoubtedly become the star Yankee in everyone’s heart. However, long before actually making it to the big leagues, Judge had once predicted his future as a future Yankees phenomenon, which occurred through Judge’s channeling of his inner superhero emotions.

Currently, the Pinstripes star Aaron Judge is the face of baseball in New York and North America. And very rightly so, too. After establishing his arrival in his Rookie Year (2017), Aaron Judge recreated what he managed in 2017. And surpassed everyone’s emotions in 2022 after smashing 62 home runs.

But when talking about his younger days in baseball, apart from being an aspiring baseball star, Judge was very fond of an infamous Marvel superhero.

Who is Judge’s favorite superhero?

Back in 2013, when Aaron Judge had just managed to break into the minor league system with the Pinstripes, the future All-Star reached his Twitter handle with an interesting tweet. In the message, he spoke about finding his favorite shirt, which also fit a Marvel icon. Notably, years down the line, he became the superhero he spoke about. And whose costume he symbolically wore as an undershirt back in the day.

His tweet said, “Just found my new favorite shirt! Rocking this undershirt every game!” And with this tweet, whether directly or not, Iron Man seems to be Aaron Judge’s favorite superhero.

It’s clear that Judge’s impressive 62-home run season in 2022 earned him a reputation as a power-hitting machine for the New York Yankees, just like the indestructible Iron Man. And with talk swirling about his potential appointment as team captain, Judge is embracing the role with all the strength and leadership of Marvel’s iconic superhero.

Although some may debate whether Iron Man was actually the leader of the Avengers, there’s no denying that Judge is poised to lead the Yankees to victory.

How did Aaron Judge cause turmoil in the free market?

During the previous off-season, Aaron Judge and New York couldn’t find common ground on a seven-year, $213.5 million deal. Consequently, when the Bronx Bombers exited the 2022 season, Judge entered free agency as the biggest star in the market.

After a long bidding war between New York and San Francisco came to an end, Judge signed a nine-year $360 million deal with the Pinstripes.
