Judge helped the Yankees to reign supreme all throughout the season and hold the zonal top rank. Boosted by his contributions, the Yankees have also booked playoff berths. Notably, he has always remained thankful to his parents for his achievements. Recently, Judge yet again made special mention of his parents, thanking them for his grand success.

As per a source, Judge once praised his mother in an interview with the New York Post, saying, “I know I wouldn’t be a New York Yankee if it wasn’t for my mom.

She’s molded me into the person that I am today.”
