NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge, spritz from white and gold bottles of Luc Belaire Rare Luxe sparkling wine dripping down his 6-foot-7 frame, appreciated the moment.
“Nothing is ever guaranteed,” the New York Yankees captain said.
Judge hit his major league-leading 58th home run, going deep for the fifth straight game to help the Yankees romp over the Baltimore Orioles 10-1 on Thursday night and wrap up the AL East with three games to spare.
Quite different from 2023's sputtering descent to an 82-80 record that nearly became the pinstripes' first losing since 1992.
