Aaron Judge: "I'm here at Bryant Park to see what Yankees fans think about Aaron Judge"

In May 2017, New York Yankees star Aaron Judge appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s “The Tonight Show” in disguise and asked Yankees fans what they thought of him. Most fans were oblivious to the fact that they were talking to Judge.

Judge started the show by saying:

"I'm here at Bryant Park to see what Yankees fans think about Aaron Judge."

Judge then asked who was the favorite player of the year for the fans. While one took Brett Gardner’s name, another said Judge’s name:

“Aaron Judge is tremendous to watch.”

Another fan added:

“I think Judge is gonna be a star.”

Judge made his MLB debut in 2016.

After an outstanding season, the player has cemented his spot among the Yankees' all-time greatest players. He was behind Luis Arraez in the American League batting race with a .313 average despite leading MLB in home runs and the AL in RBIs.

Judge leads the AL in 11 of the 12 categories needed to capture an unprecedented quadruple championship. Since earning Rookie of the Year in 2017, Judge has steadily become better in the AL.
