JUDGE IS JUST RACKING UP THE ACCOLADES

Aaron Judge isn’t just the guy who smashes baseballs into orbit—he’s the guy who sets the tone for an entire clubhouse. Leadership isn’t just about putting up numbers; it’s about driving a team forward with motivation, guidance, and a presence that commands respect. And when you lead like Judge, the accolades follow.

On Monday, Major League Baseball recognized Judge as the American League Player of the Week—for the 13th time. That puts him alongside Alex Rodriguez for the third-most in AL history and ties him with A-Rod and Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan for sixth place ever. That’s not just good company; that’s baseball royalty.

And let’s talk about what got him there. Judge absolutely crushed the Milwaukee Brewers to start the season, hitting an absurd .545 with four home runs, 11 RBIs, and eight runs scored. 

As FingerLakes1.com noted, “Judge joined Yankees legends Lou Gehrig, Alex Rodriguez, and Joe DiMaggio as one of the few players in franchise history to record at least three three-homer games. His 40 career multi-homer games now rank second among active players, trailing only Manny Machado.” Yeah, that’s kind of a big deal.

Oh, and by the way? The Yankees are 3-0, the last unbeaten team in the AL. Coincidence? Not when Aaron Judge is leading the charge.
