New York Yankees are having a season to remember for ages. This Aaron Judge-starrer team does not seem to have a weakness. Be it the hitters or the pitchers, the Pinstripes have been putting shows in the ballparks in every other game.
What is more remarkable about this team is that they are not letting the defeats affect their winning mentality. Instead, whenever the Yankees have faced a loss this season, they go all guns blazing in the very next game and make sure the team gets back on the winning track.

Something similar happened in the recent series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. After a 5-2 defeat in the first game of the series, The Bronx Bombers went bonkers in the second game against the Pirates. Aaron Judge and Aaron Hicks belted grand slams in a 16-0 statement victory.
Fans want the Yankees to re-sign Aaron Judge
Aaron Judge is a generational talent. No doubt about that. Apart from his hitting skill, Judge also knows a thing or two about leadership. He is probably the only one who has come close to the legacy of Derek Jeter. Coming back to the game, the Yankees had a perfect night at PNC Park.

In an attack led by Aaron Judge, Aaron Hicks, and Giancarlo Stanton, the Yankees crushed the Pirates. Judge and Hicks belted a grand slam each, while Stanton also hammered his 21st home run this season. This grand slam was the 30th home run for Judge in 2022.
Taking to Twitter, fans went crazy and reacted to the once-in-a-lifetime game. One fan noted it as a good sign before playing the next series against the arch-rival, Boston Red Sox, while another fan requested the Yankees to re-sign their talisman.

Takin Yanks also shared a video of Hicks hitting the grand slam and captioned it, “If your name is Aaron and you play for the New York Yankees, you hit a grand slam tonight.”

A fan even appreciated the guts of Judge for turning down an extension offer and then going berserk in his arbitration season. Notably, Judge rejected a $200-plus million deal from the Yankees and preferred to become a free agent.
That Boi Turned Down That Money. Betted On Himself. And So Far It’s Payin Off.

Consider this: @TheJudge44 has 30 homers and the #Yankees still have 10 games before the @AllStarGame ! That’s crazy. Has someone ever rolled the dice and bet on himself and performed at such a ridiculous level?
