After overcoming injury and cheating allegations, New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge is slowly coming back to his original form that broke the AL home run record last year. Judge, with his performances, is letting the baseball world know, that the Toronto Blue Jays are his favorite opponent in the league.
It was the Jays against whom Judge broke the AL home runs record set by the legendary Roger Maris. The Middle of the season is nearing, and the Yankees captain has already hit 12 home runs. The number might look low right now, but looking at his arc last season, it’s safe to assume that the number of home runs is bound to go up. With this 12th homer of the season, Judge has broken yet another record.
