“Thank You for Everything You’ve Done for New York”- AL MVP Aaron Judge Gets Showered With Love From Fans After His Hilarious Prank

Aaron Judge has just won the American League MVP award. It was the first time a New York Yankees had done it since 2007. Judge led the Yankees to the postseason and the AL Championship series where they were beaten by eventual champions, the Houston Astros.

All in all, Judge had a season to remember as he now prepares for his free agency and what looks like a busy offseason. But Judge took time out of his busy offseason to play a prank on some unsuspecting fans.

What prank did Aaron Judge play on Yankee fans?

Aaron Judge teamed up with Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon to prank some unsuspecting Yankee fans. The fans thought they were simply getting their pictures taken at an MLB Flagship store in Yankee Stadium. The picture started normally, with the fans posing as batters in a setup with a catcher and umpire behind them. Little did the fans know that Judge and Fallon were the ones posing in the picture with them.

They were then shocked and delighted when Judge and Fallon took off their masks. Some fans reacted instantly and others took a few moments to process what was happening. But all of them showed delight and happiness in what were truly wholesome moments. One fan even took the chance to thank Judge saying, “Thank You For Everything You’ve done for New York.”

The Yankees fans will be hoping that Judge signs a new contract to continue playing with the team that drafted him. Aaron Judge will most likely stay with the Yankees and sign a long-term contract this offseason. But a surprise move to another team is not off the cards. It will all depend on what the Yankees offer Judge.

Will Judge repeat as MVP?

Aaron Judge would have to have another fantastic season to win American League MVP again next year. The reason is that voters and fans now have expectations of what Judge can achieve. Although it’s unlikely that Judge repeats as MVP next year, it doesn’t mean that he won’t win the award again.

Judge will be focusing on free agency right now and getting the best deal. The Yankees offered Judge a 7-year $213.5 million contract in spring training this year, which he turned down. The Pinstripes will have to do better than that to keep Judge, with a 9-10 year deal likely to come his way.
