As the Yankees continue pursuing their 28th World Series championship, the impending free agency of presumed American League MVP Aaron Judge looms large. With his critical home run in Tuesday’s Game 5 in front of a raucous home crowd, Yankees fans couldn’t help but notice how the star outfielder opted to celebrate once he made it back to the dugout.
Judge’s solo shot in the bottom of the second inning gave New York a 4–0 lead over the Guardians following Giancarlo Stanton’s three-run blast in the first. Once Judge crossed home plate and returned to the dugout, he looked toward the dugout and pulled the Yankees logo on his jersey up to his face to kiss it.
