The Yankees’ talisman Judge, himself, is having a great season. On Tuesday, Judge smacked his first career walk-off home run. He did it when it mattered the most. Because if it were not for Judge’s home run, the Yankees might have lost the game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Fans went berserk when Aaron Judge won it for the Yankees
It is not the first time Aaron Judge has hit a home run, but the Yankees slugger had never hit a walk-off home run until Tuesday. And what an occasion he chose to hit the walk-off home run. The Yankees were trailing 5-3 against the Blue Jays. But Judge not only achieved a personal milestone, but he also won the game for his team.
After this, the internet went berserk and started praising Judge for his decisive walk-off run. A Yankees fan even called him a God, while another fan asked the Yankees management to sign him before it was too late.
This Yankees team is very special and people should realize that/ fucking pay Aaron Judge.
