“Had No Idea Jose Altuve Was a Yankees Fan”: 6’7″ Giant Aaron Judge’s Adorable Moment With a Young Fan Melts the MLB World

New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge in his seven years of career in Major League Baseball, has earned some of the most important accolades. Aside from getting known for his humility and team-oriented approach to the game, All Rise is also known for his towering stature of six foot seven inches, making him one of the tallest in the entire league. His stature gives him a natural advantage on the field, helping him cover more ground than an average-sized ballplayer. As there is the tallest person in the league, there is also the shortest, aka Houston Astros’ Jose Altuve. 

During a spring training game, Judge got clicked with a young fan of the Bronx Bombers. As the journalist Jon Heyman posted that picture on his Twitter handle, fans started comparing the young fan to the two times world champion, Jose Altuve. Because that’s how massive Aaron Judge is. 

Baseball fans had their own fun with the young fan’s picture with Aaron Judge 

While some of the fans melted watching Aaron Judge beside such a young and cute fan, most spoke of that little child as Altuve turned into a New York Yankees fan.

Following are some of the reactions toward Aaron Judge with a small Yankees fan. 

Judge hit another growth spurt?

Amid the fans melting over the cute boy and Altuve’s comments, some of the fans brought back the iconic Arson Judge, while one still has a hard time believing that BAJ isn’t playing in World Baseball Classic. 

Why isn’t Judge playing in WBC?

The AL home run king, Aaron Judge, has never played in the tournament. Despite what could have been the year where he played, he refused the chance. The Yankees captain did so to know the younger, fresher prospects on a deeper level. If BAJ had represented team USA, he could not have focused on getting to know the future of baseball.
