Right Fielder, Rookie Sensation Aaron Judge Gets His Own Rooting Section In Yankee Stadium
How many rookies in the majors do you know that get ther own rooting section in the stadium where their team plays? Is twenty -five-year-old 6"7 282 pound rookie right fielder Aaron Judge who plays for New York the first?
His own rooting section opened up Monday night when New York played their first game of a four-game set against Kansas City. The section is called the Judge's Chambers. It is framed faux wood paneling, covering three rows and fashioned to fit 18 fans wearing black judicial robes with the Yankees' logo on the front and his No. 99 on the back.

The new Judge's Chambers at Yankee Stadium accommodates 18 fans picked at random from other seats. The fans get to borrow a black Judge's robe and keep a foam gavel that says, "All rise!" according to http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/19440366/rookie-slugger-aaron-judge-gets-own-rooting-section-yankee-stadium
The rookie slugger leads the majors in home runs with 15 home runs, most of them hit very far and very hard. Huge at 6-foot-7, he was humbled when the team approached him with the concept. After all, this is a tradition-laden franchise that doesn't often do things to single out players, even Bronx Bombers.

The right fielder had this to say about the new addition to the stadium "I was shocked, you know. I was surprised," Judge said. "I think it's going to be a pretty cool idea that the fans will like. It will be something the fans, I really think, will enjoy." according to http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/19440366/rookie-slugger-aaron-judge-gets-own-rooting-section-yankee-stadium
