The 2023 season went against the hopes of the New York Yankees. Nothing worked for them, even after all the spending. Not to mention, their star captain, Aaron Judge, also had a forgetful season. Although he played without not recovering fully, the Yankees failed to win the ticket to playoffs. Although it put many players out of recognition, it seems Aaron stands as an exception.

Multiple injuries hampered the season of the 2022 AL MVP, which was frustrating for the Yankees captain. Although he did not let this affect his character, he missed out on exceptional contributions on and off the field. Yet the 31-year-old could justify him being the captain both on and off the feild. As Judge claimed with all the difficulties, the recognition has made the fans happy, who had an interesting take on his response.
