Aaron Judge’s 2022 season was one for the record books. His 62 home runs broke Roger Maris’ 61-year-old American League single-season record of 61. This monumental achievement earned him American League MVP honors as well. The newest Yankees captain added a staggering 131 RBIs, 133 runs, and 391 total bases to his gaudy stat line for the campaign. Judge is now all but guaranteed to be a Yankee for life after he signed a nine-year, $360 million deal with the Bronx Bombers this offseason.
Offered here is a jersey Judge wore during the historic season that has been conclusively photomatched to seven games and three home runs by Resolution Photomatching. The ResMatch dates are 5/31/2022, 6/2/2022, 6/3/2022, 6/12/2022, 6/14/2022, 6/15/2022, and 6/16/2022. He homered in the games on 6/2/2022, 6/3/2022, and 6/15/2022. Adding even more significance is the fact that his June 2nd big fly came off 2022 AL MVP runner-up Shohei Ohtani. In those seven games, Judge went 10-28 (.357) with 7 runs, 5 RBI and 4 walks in addition to the three jacks.
The Nike branded home jersey supplies the classic “NY” logo on the left chest. The lower left front tail shows MLB Authentic Collection Nike tagging above secondary tags with both Fanatics and MLB Authentication affixed to it. On the reverse of the jersey Judge’s classic “99” is found. He signed the first '9' in bold silver marker. Inscribed on the second '9' is “GU 22, HR 19 & 25,” and “AL/NYY HR Record.” Game use is evident throughout, and is particularly prominent in the heavy dirt staining on the front of the jersey. Fanatics Authentic (AA0131854) and MLB Authentication (VT108836) holograms certifiy the jersey as being game-worn on June 2nd and 15th. Resolution Photomatching paperwork documents the seven games with ResMatches.
