Aaron Judge is the outspokenly Christian outfielder for the New York Yankees who set the American League single-season home run record of 62 in a 162-game season, breaking the prior record set by Roger Maris that had stood for 61 years.[1]
Judge's record is particularly remarkable due to how he is a right-handed batter. The other top American League sluggers -- Babe Ruthy and Roger Maris -- batted left-handed. As Judge trotted from third base to home plate on his record-setting home run, he pointed to the sky in honor of the Lord, as he typically does after a home run.[2]
His Twitter motto is "Christian. Faith, Family, then Baseball."[3] His favorite Bible verse is his Twitter banner: "For we walk by faith, not by sight,"[4] 2Corinthians 5:7 .
Judge was adopted at birth.
