“I’m not gonna give him a response because it’s about the kids,” Judge said. “That’s what it’s all about. We got a chance to spend a lot of time with quite a few kids in Williamsport and make some great memories. Had a great time at the game, besides the loss. So I want that to be the focus.” Well, the Yankees certainly made a splash at the Little League World Series, and thanks to Jazz Chisholm Jr., their memorable day was captured in a video for all to see.

On the other hand, Bob’s perspective on the Yankees’ visit starkly contrasts with the upbeat video capturing their time at the Little League World Series. According to Bob, his team felt snubbed after the Yankees’ game against Detroit. The young players had hoped that their seats behind home plate would provide a chance to interact with Aaron Judge, but it didn’t as expected, and he vented it out, saying, “How about turning around or wave to New York and the kids that think you’re a hero? They are the ones who pay your salary.”

In response to the criticism, Aaron Judge has brushed off the comments, saying he doesn’t give them much “weight,” as Judge remarked on Wednesday. “I play in front of 40,000 fans every night and get booed if I go 0-for-1.” Manager Aaron Boone echoed this sentiment, choosing to stay out of the fray. “I’m not even gonna dignify that with a response,” Boone said. “Aaron Judge is as good as it gets.”

While the team manager and Judge are rather quiet, the statement issued by the Yankees defending their star player speaks volumes!

The Yankees went all in to support their star player

In the statement, the Yankees clarified that neither the organization nor their players had scheduled any specific event for Sunday. The visit was an extra gesture, as the Staten Island team happened to play that day. The Yankees players made an effort to interact with the kids before their game against the Detroit Tigers, going out of their way to make the experience special, making the claims by Bob irrelevant.
