Travis Kelce and Micah Parsons couldn't contain their excitement after seeing Aaron Judge hitting home run in season opener

Travis Kelce, Micah Parsons all-in on Aaron Judge after Yankees superstar's first 2023 home run - "Tank!"

Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees started off their new season with a game against the San Francisco Giants at home. Judge, who won the AL MVP last year and tied Roger Maris' home run record, hit another home run during his first at-bat of the season.

Yankees fans cheered for their team captain, as he didn't shy away from clearing Logan Webb's second pitch to him over center field. The Yankees took a 1-0 lead in the first inning of the game itself and started the new season in a great manner.

Along with applauding Judge, Micah Parsons also praised New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole, who has started the game quite well. Here's what Parsons said about Cole:

"G cole Is on a mission rn"

Till the fourth innings, Cole had 71 pitches, while recording 10 strikeouts and just one hit. Hopefully, both Judge and Gerrit Cole will continue to dominate as the Yankees rely heavily on both of them.

Aaron Judge: San Francisco Giants v New York Yankees

After months of contract negotiations, Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees were finally able to reach terms on a contract extension. Judge signed a massive nine-year deal worth $360 million and was named the Yankees captain as well.

Last season was a monumental season for him, where he had a batting average of .311 with 177 hits, 62 home runs, 131 RBIs and 133 runs scored in 157 games. Expectations will be high once again for Judge as the Yankees continue their search for a first World Series win since 2009.

The New York Yankees have a pretty good roster, and after losing to the Houston Astros in the ALCS last season, they will hope to build on that and reach their ultimate goal this season.
