With that in mind, I wrote about why New York should resign Aaron Judge who is free agent for inaugural time in his Major League Baseball Career following 2022 MLB season My reasons were Aaron Judge is a great player who since coming up to Major League Baseball in 2017 has become the face of New York as he is well liked by New York fans, spectators because every where you looked in 2022 season when New York was playing at home at Yankee Stadium in Bronx New York, or on the road you would see Aaron Judge’s #99 jerseys, t-shirts. Before games at Yankee Stadium he would be signing autographs for young fans, spectators. Throwing a baseball back and fourth with young fans, spectators not just at Yankee Stadium though other stadiums around MLB as well in between innings and above all he represents New York the right way and he is great offensively as well as defensively in right field as well as center field.Aaron Judge is well liked by New York fans, spectators because every where you looked in 2022 season when New York was playing at home at Yankee Stadium in Bronx New York, or on the road you would see Aaron Judge’s #99 jerseys, t-shirts.
