The 16th captain of the New York Yankees is a superstar in the making and his humble personality doesn’t hurt his fame either. More than anything though, Aaron Judge is an idol to kids, who he tries to help at every opportunity. His charity organization, the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation, is a testament to his desire to help kids grow into responsible citizens.
The Yank is often seen playing with kids during intervals between innings at his games, and it’s heartwarming to watch. He has commented on how he had loved watching his favorite sportspersons, like Derek Jeter, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James give back to the community. Recently, Judge gave an inspiring message to kids telling them they can do anything.

YES Network on Twitter posted a video of the Yankees captain motivating kids to work hard and persevere, and they can do anything. “My message to kids is pretty simple. I just wanna inspire them to be the best they can be. Nothing’s out of reach. Nothing’s impossible. You know I’m not saying go out and be the next Aaron Judge, even though I know a lot of kids can do that,” the Yankees legend said.
He also adds, “I want them to be the best teacher, the best engineer. Anything is possible if you put in the hard work…You can accomplish anything.”
Some have compared Judge to the last Yankees captain, Derek Jeter. Both are known for their similar personalities and private lifestyle. But when asked about the comparison, Judge simply said he just tries his best to be who he is.
Yankees fans are proud of their star player
Most people have nice things to say about the outfielder and are proud to call him their captain. One Twitter user hilariously compared him to Captain America, who is also notably from New York (Brooklyn).
