Fan who caught Yankees’ Aaron Judge’s 62nd home run is living the good life

Brian Cashman did nothing to help himself or the New York Yankees last week at the General Managers Meetings when he stood in front of the media, ready to answer any question hurled at him with a defensive tone and a disdain that could consume you from a mile away. Just about every person and outlet that covers the Yankees had a scathing review of…

Alex Rodriguez was not only a legendary player but a great motivator too. After his retirement, Rodriguez not only shares motivational lines on his social media for youngsters, but he even motivates young Yankees players to improve their performance. Surprisingly, A-Rod can even see the future. A few years back, when Aaron Judge was a rookie…

The good news for the New York Yankees-the last-place Yankees, the 1-in-3-playoff-odds Yankees, the mightily disappointing and second-most-expensive-team-in-baseball Yankees-is that Aaron Judge will probably return to the field on Friday, after missing almost two months due to a toe injury. That's no small matter. (And not just because Judge is so…

One should never bet on an NFL game without knowing the status of a starting quarterback who is dealing with an injury. The MLB version of a quarterback is generally a starting pitcher, but there are a few non-pitchers out who are quarterback-like in terms of their absence potentially affecting a line. No hitter is bigger in that regard than…

Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees have the potential to enjoy an incredible 2023 campaign. However, injury concerns are already impacting the ball club and the regular season hasn't even started yet. Carlos Rodon and Harrison Bader are both dealing with injury concerns. It was recently revealed that Luis Severino could open the season on the…

The New York Yankees and Aaron Judge went through a rollercoaster ride this offseason when the star slugger hit free agency and all the ball clubs started to salivate at the sight of wanting him in their franchise. After a huge scare from the San Francisco Giants, the Yankee management finally locked down the reigning AL MVP to a nine-year, 360…

Remember Cory Youmans, a VP at Fisher Investments in the Dallas area? Until the end of Sept., there was no reason for Yankees fans to be familiar with Mr. Youmans, unless they were also fans of money (or dedicated members of Bachelor Nation). That all changed when Youmans caught Aaron Judge's AL record-setting 62nd home run ball; he left the…

During the Winter Meetings we all got a big laugh at Jon Heyman tweeting that "Arson Judge" was heading to the San Francisco Giants. A much bigger story dropped at almost exactly the same time when Bradford William Davis reported on Dr. Meredith Wills' latest round of research for Insider, revealing that MLB used at least two (and possibly three)…

Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is coming back. On Wednesday, after heavy speculation that he would join the San Francisco Giants, the Yankees and Aaron judge have agreed to a deal worth $360 million over nine years, according to multiple reports. Judge knocked 62 home runs, 177 hits and 131 RBIs in 2022. To commemorate Judge's return, fans can get his…

SAN FRANCISCO - Quietly Tuesday, one of the most important days in recent San Francisco Giants history played out behind closed doors and tinted windows. Aaron Judge was in town. Three weeks into free agency, a few days before Thanksgiving, presumably on a stopover on the slugger's way home to small Linden, about two hours east, for the holiday, it…

There is no bigger storyline in the MLB right now other than Aaron Judge's free agency.

Whether Aaron Judge will return to the Bronx and play for the New York Yankees again or will start a new chapter in his baseball career somewhere else, he still is the most interesting man in the sport for as long as he remains a free agent. Only Judge will have the last say about where he would take his spectacular talents, but if anything, he did…

Aaron Judge's 62nd home run ball can be yours, if the price is right. ESPN's Jeff Passan reports the ball hit by the New York Yankees slugger to set a new single-season American League record is heading to auction. According to Passan, the attorney for the Texas man who caught the ball told ESPN he already rejected a $3 million offer. Cory Youmans,…

News that closer Edwin Diaz agreed to a $102 million deal with the Mets speaks volumes about loyalty, which in this case went both ways. Diaz passed up the chance to test free agency in exchange for a record-setting contract. And owner Steve Cohen proved (again) nothing comes between him and his player of choice - certainly not money. Which brings…

Aaron Judge may have played his final game in pinstripes. The 30-year-old home run king is hitting free agency and early betting odds have the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets among the favorites to sign him if he leaves the Yankees. Has it really come to this? New York Yankees slugger - and presumptive AL MVP - Aaron Judge is hitting free…

NFL legend Tom Brady has an interesting proposition for New York Yankees star Aaron Judge. Having produced one of the most prolific offensive seasons in history, Judge has a pot of gold coming his way. The Yankees slugger turned down a substantial seven-year, $213.5 million extension offer on Opening Day and is due to enter free agency after the…

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Yankees slugger Aaron Judge had answered 12 consecutive questions about himself from reporters Monday before anybody bothered to ask him about New York's opponent in the American League Division Series, the AL Central Division champion Cleveland Guardians. But even that question was prefaced by a word of congratulations on Judge…

The Yankees gave their fan base two riveting and entirely different regular seasons in 2022. The first one was a story about a special team, and the second was a story about a special player. Aaron Judge delivered as good a year as any New York athlete has had, in any sport at any time, and his successful pursuit of history in the late summer/early…

So, there will be no last-day drama in Aaron Judge's pursuit of history, as the leadoff hitter for the New York Yankees/presumptive 2022 American League MVP/MLB home run and RBI leader hit his 62nd home run last night off of Jesus Tinoco of the Texas Rangers to move into first all by his lonesome atop the franchise and AL charts ahead of the late…

Bryant Junco, a Milwaukee Brewers fan who claims he has Aaron Judge's 59th home run ball, says Major League Baseball refuses to authenticate the historic ball. The 38-year-old Junco attended the Brewers-Yankees game Sept. 18 at American Family Field, where Judge hit the historic home run. The Yankees slugger's 59th blast in 2022 set the American…

Blue Jays fan Frankie Lasagna grabbed a baseball glove from his garage before heading down to Rogers Centre for Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. With Aaron Judge on the verge of baseball history, Lasagna wanted to be prepared just in case the Yankees slugger hit his 61st homer of the season. "I would never ever bring a glove other…

Speculators have been warming in their bullpens for weeks. There is money to be made with Aaron Judge on the verge of matching the American League's single-season record with his 61st home run.
