The New York Yankees may not be enjoying their best season in 2023. But that’s nothing to say of the stars that adorn its roster. Despite the season not going to plan for the franchise, some of their star players are enjoying their best season. Even if it may be off the diamond. And the star’s hitting form may just have had its formula cracked.

2022 Homerun King Aaron Judge, set the baseball world alight last season with a historic hitting record that has propelled him to a Pinstriped icon. Slowing down was never a part of the brief for the slugger and he’s showing no intention of it anytime soon. With a new sponsorship deal on offer for the star from the Jordan brand, the reigning AL MVP is truly making it big.

Aaron Judge is not your typical baseball star. Looming over others on the field at 6’7, the star is one of the tallest players to play the game. The Pinstriped icon presents a challenge to pitch simply because of the reach of his swing. Young players across the country will be trying to replicate the star’s winning play style, and his height forms such a crucial part of it.

Recently in a promotional video that the star shot with the Jordan brand to announce their collaboration, the star jokingly took to revealing the secret behind his height. And it might not be what you thought.

Speaking in jest when asked the secret behind his height, Judge revealed that he was not always the model child. Judge said, “My mom she wasn’t really happy with me growing up. The refrigerator door was always open. You know, veggies and chocolate milk.

Surprising even the interviewer, Judge winked to the camera saying, “All the kids out there, you wanna be 6’7 6’8 you gotta get your chocolate milk.

Aaron Judge’s newest Endorsement Deal

Aaron Judge’s newest endorsement deal is more than just a collaboration with the Jordan brand. It seems to be a statement of the star’s recognizability and overall brand across the country. With 3x All-Star Shohei Ohtani being snubbed by the Jordan brand in favour of Judge as its newest signing, perhaps this could also signal a turnaround for the Yankees franchise.
