Jazz Chisholm Jr. repping Aaron Judge—Is this the ultimate show of sportsmanship or just fan service?

There is nothing better than that crack of the bat or the crowd roaring for their heroes in the diamond. But well, except for freebies! Who doesn’t love freebies when at the ballpark? The New York Yankees made it a tradition to give away something special for their fans and to say it created a major buzz would be an understatement. 

Last year, Aaron Judge’s basketball jersey created a whole frenzy, so this time they tried it around with Juan Soto’s jersey, and it was a huge success. Recently, Jazz Chisolm Jr. was flaunting Aaron Judge’s football jersey. It’s a cue, guys—the jersey is soon up for grabs next week, and the jersey is stunning!

Jazz Chilsom Jr. was on a break due to his injury, and he is making a comeback tonight. Ahead of the comeback, he was seen wearing Judge’s football jersey. Now this is the No. 99 jersey that the team will be giving away on August 30 when the Yankees play with the St. Louis Cardinals at Yankee Stadium. However, there is a little catch.

The stunning jersey is only for the first 18,000 guests. So, one can imagine the urgency one needs to show if one wants to grab this! So if anyone’s planning to be there, get there early for the line! Because this is what happened with Juan Soto’s jersey giveaway at Yankee Stadium. There was a huge line of fans waiting to get a hold of this exclusive jersey. 

Multiple videos went viral about how fans were waiting for hours for Juan Soto’s jersey. Now that itself tells you that Soto isn’t going anywhere. As for the Aaron Judge football jersey success, there isn’t a doubt it would be successful, because last year his basketball jersey stint went stellar too. That is what made the Yankees keep this as a tradition! Moreover, fans have outpoured love over the Chisolm Jr. post. One fan said, “Holy aura,” while another said, “That’s amazing!”

Yankee fans, gear up for awesome rings, bobbleheads, and more!

There are plenty of giveaways that have already ended, and people were able to snag some lovely gifts. From the George Costanza bobblehead to the Gerrit Cole Cy young bobblehead and the Antony Volpe glove bobblehead. But now the next exciting event is, of course, Old-Timers Day. This will be the 76th Old-Timers Day for the team, and this time they are honoring the winners of the 2009 World Series. Some of the key players will be in attendance, including Hall of Famer Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, and, for the first time, Alex Rodriguez. It will definitely be a monumental event.

As far as giveaways go, more such gifts are awaited by the fans who will make it to the stadiums. All the more perks to make it to the stands than watching it on television, we suppose. See your sports heroes and go home with a gift. Who wouldn’t want that?
