The Remarkable Story Of MLB’s King Aaron Judge

This week, Major League Baseball welcomed a new home run king. In a game against the Texas Rangers, Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees hit 62 home runs for the season, breaking the previous American League record. He also earned the MLB Award for the season’s MVP.

Judge, a devoted Christian, places his adoption and personal story of faith at the heart of his extraordinary journey.

King Aaron Judge Credits His Adoptive Parents For His Success

“I know I’m adopted. I don’t look like you.” That phrase is not usual in a child’s mouth. It was said by the new king of baseball when he was ten years old. A story that explains who is, Aaron Judge (Sacramento, 1992). The MVP of the American League in Major League Baseball (MLB), with the New York Yankees, after a historic season.

Aaron Judge acknowledged to his parents when he was ten years old that he knew he was adopted because he didn’t resemble them.

He was not raised by his biological parents because Patty and Wayne Judge adopted him just two days after his birth.

“My parents are amazing; they’ve taught me so many lessons,” Aaron told the New York Post.

“I honestly can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done for me.”

“I feel that God was the one that matched us together.”

“Some kids grow in their mom’s stomach; I grew in my mom’s heart,” Aaron Judge later added. “She’s always shown me love and compassion ever since I was a little baby. I’ve never needed to think differently or wonder about anything.”

Judge attributes the qualities required for a Major League Baseball career to both his adopted mother and father. He wasn’t successful because he was adopted; rather, he was successful as a result of being adopted.
