Since his call-up to the majors in 2016, Aaron Judge has wowed fans and fellow big-league players alike, shattering MLB records and conducting himself gracefully as the modern-day face of the New York Yankees. Last season's epic chase to break Roger Maris' 61-year-old American League record of 61 home runs in a season ended with the 6’7”, 280-pound slugger blasting 62 long balls, captivating the entire baseball world in the process.
Opening Day of Judge's official MLB rookie season in 2017 pitted for the Yankees against their AL East counterparts from Tampa Bay at Tropicana Field. Judge recorded a hit and RBI in four plate appearances during his rookie season debut. Judge would go on to record one of the most accomplished rookie seasons in baseball history, finishing the 2017 campaign with a league-leading 52 homers, 114 RBI, and .284 batting average. Judge also led the AL in runs (128) and walks (127). With these monster numbers, Judge was awarded 2017 AL Rookie of the Year honors. Judge also received runner-up recognition in the American League MVP voting. The Yankees advanced to the 2017 ALCS where they would fall to the eventual World Series Champion Houston Astros.
Featured here is Aaron Judge’s April 2, 2017, MLB rookie season debut game-worn NY Yankees road jersey. The massive, size 52 gray jersey made by MLB outfitter, Majestic, has obvious game use attributes, yet remains in excellent shape. Contact marks are present on each shoulder, while some puckering has occurred on the front “NEW YORK” lettering. Judge's now iconic No. “99” is featured on the reverse of this Yankees road gamer in a classic style that is now a piece of MLB history. The jock tag features MLB Authentication (#JC156015) and Steiner Sports holograms certifying the shirt's game use on 4/2/2017. Includes separate full LOA from Steiner as well.
