Aaron Judge is possibly the most central piece to the New York Yankees puzzle. Having been there since 2016, Judge is well acclimatized to the culture there and is clearly a fan favorite. He has everything going for him except that one elusive pennant. The World Series has made a few post-season runs already, Judge is yet to see the Yankees mount a real title challenge. But if you are to hear it from him, he’s already seen the win happening in his dreams. Now all that remains is to make it real. In a recent podcast that Judge appeared on, he went on to describe the feeling.

Aaron Judge is easily one of the fan favorites on the Yankees. With the three-time All-Star delivering on his potential, the Bronx Bombers could well stand ready to challenge for a World Series. But his stay at the Yankees is somewhat shy of a few key achievements. Most important among them, is a World Series. And while most pundits stand agreed that his talent is definitely of a title-winning standard, the pennant is not yet in the Bronx.
However, if the law of attraction is to be believed, it could be fast approaching. Aaron Judge spoke in a podcast about how he can see himself winning the World Series and how he has played the scenario in his head several times.

Aaron Judge can get just about any New York Yankees fan with what he says next. The man could potentially single-handedly, make an entire city believe. And he does.
Judge pulls together the most stunning visual any Yankees fan can potentially imagine going on to set out how he imagines the first win to come about. “The one thing that always pops in my head, you know, is literally a picture us winning it at home,” he says.
Elaborating his description a bit, he goes on to describe the scene. “Like pack stadium, Game Six, Yankees, like, we’re at home, I can just picture myself in right field”, he says. Judge adds that the feeling isn’t completely alien to him either. While not having been a part of the World Series still, he recalls that the feeling is quite similar even in wildcard games or division games.

And it’s those visuals that keep him going. Even on days when it may seem for naught. “When it’s June 11. And it’s a Monday. And you got 5000 fans, you know, you’re playing and it’s hot.” that’s when this goal-setting matters. “You got to win today to get to tomorrow”, says Judge.
But Judge seemed adamant about his vision and goal. “I just have that vision in my head for some reason, like, the first one is gonna be at home.” Speaking about his reaction when it will finally happen, Judge seemed more than happy to share.” Just running and storming the field, dog pile on the mound, city going crazy. Hopefully some fans around the field. You know, you dream about those things.”
