The year 2024 ended badly for the New York Yankees, as they fell apart in the World Series and lost there to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Then, to add insult to injury, they lost star outfielder Juan Soto to the New York Mets, which, according to commentators, meant that a seismic shift had taken place in New York City baseball.
But the Yankees have won each of their first three games of the 2025 MLB season, and they have been buoyed by the play of Aaron Judge.
The star slugger has hit four home runs and 11 RBIs, including three homers on Saturday versus the Milwaukee Brewers. The Yankees sent him a simple three-word message on Instagram.
“Let’s roll, Cap,” the team posted.
With his help, the Yankees have scored a ridiculous 36 runs in their first three games. In doing so, he has given them a bit of hope that perhaps they can contend for the world championship this season.
Judge had a remarkable 2024 season in which he led MLB with 144 RBIs, 58 home runs and a .458 on-base percentage. He was rewarded with his second American League MVP in three years.

He may have to have his best season yet this year to get the Bronx Bombers back to the promised land.
