“Yes. No-brainer,” Boone responded with unwavering confidence. “You’re doing alright, kid. Keep it up.” His words were simple yet spoke volumes. It wasn’t just about a single home run or a flashy stat. It was about recognizing something deeper – a talent that had begun to rewrite history!
Yet, despite the mounting accolades, Judge remained focused and humble, always grounded in the present. “It’s great praise,” he said in response to Boone’s comments. “But I live in the present. We’ve got things to do. A lot of work to do, so we’ll talk about that in a couple of years.” His words reflect the relentless drive that has propelled him from a promising rookie to one of baseball’s greats today. And it was clear that he wasn’t interested in resting on his laurels.

“Looks like he’s doing everything. There’s a part of me that takes him for granted a little bit. I just feel like he could hit an extra-base hit every time,” said Skipper Aaron Boone.
