Seems like fans are having the time of their lives with the New York Yankees right now. With multiple players of the Yanks being on the injured list, including the captain Aaron Judge himself, one man snuck past an injury today. One of the oldest yet most resilient broadcasters of the New York Yankees, John Sterling, during Saturday night’s game, got stuck by a foul ball straight on his face. Not only was he stuck, but he also got a bit bloodied right beside his left eyebrow. However, the commentator did not take any break and resumed his duties within seconds.
Although it was said that the broadcaster would be taking a break but would be present for Monday’s game. But he was back Sunday only. Also, before Sunday’s game, Sterling took a chance and mocked Aaron Judge about his injury.?
What would have Aaron Judge replied?

Notably, the renowned broadcaster of the Yankees was strong enough that he did not need to go on the injured list. But that did not stop him from mocking the captain.
