In the baseball world, 2022 was The Year of Aaron Judge. It was the year of Aaron Judge MVP and Aaron Judge 62 homers. After all, the Aaron Judge home run record, at least for the American League, is one of the game’s greatest accomplishments in recent years. This past season necessitated the signing of a recordbreaking Aaron Judge contract, as the Yankees sought to retain his services after some hard fought Aaron Judge negotiations. But that’s what you get when you have the greatest MLB season since Barry Bonds.
The Year of Judge did not end with a New York Yankees World Series or Aaron Judge Triple Crown. The Astros and Luis Arraez put a stop to that. But it will still be remembered for the moment Judge breaks Maris record. Just please ignore everything Roger Maris Jr. has said since the record fell. Of course, 62 was just one of the Aaron Judge 2022 highlights. In this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, I point out the Aaron Judge walkoff vs the Blue Jays as a pivotal moment. I also make sure to respect the Aaron Judge defense in centerfield.
