Coming off of a spectacular season, New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge gave his fans a treat with a home run on opening day. The Yanks hosted the Giants and, with a win of 5-0, started their roll. Although the Bronx Bombers lost their second game against the Giants, another moment between the captain and multi-talented Alex Rodriguez before the game stole the show and won the hearts of the fans.
While following up on his FOX duties, former Yankee Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez caught up with All Rise Aaron Judge to reflect on the iconic 2022 season. While doing so, they also talked about the pressure of fulfilling the expectations going forward.
Alex Rodriguez sure knows how to steal the show!

This cracked me up. Atleast AROD accepts it. He bags himself all the time. I actually like him now because of it.
