Worlds are again colliding as Aaron Judge and Travis Kelce team up for a new venture. Notably, Judge is one of the biggest names in all MLB – the 16th captain of the New York Yankees signed a 9-year extension for a whopping $360 million. Not to mention he’s the reigning AL MVP after breaking the American League record for single-season home runs.
Kelce is equally impressive to football fans – an NFL legend, he’s the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and 2x Super Bowl winner. Last season, the 33-year-old became the fastest tight end to reach 10,000 career receiving yards. Safe to say, both players are revered in their respective sports worlds. So what could be better than the two coming together for a new partnership?
