Free agent Aaron Judge has done it. He finally claimed the AL MVP crown, which was probably his rightful claim after the monumental season he had with the New York Yankees. Currently, a free agent, the former Yankee had set only one target for him before this season began, and the outfielder has much more than that. No matter how big the crown on his head was, he didn’t let his humility go away from him.

Notably, winning the league MVP is something that almost every athlete dreams of. While talking about his feelings about winning the award, he gave credit to his team. As he believes, what he has achieved wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for a wonderful team beside him all the time.
