The question entering the 2023 for Aaron Judge after he blasted 62 home runs last season was: Can he do it again, especially after signing a MASSIVE deal to stay with the New York Yankees?
Well, on Opening Day 2023, he stepped up to the plate and in his first at-bat while facing Logan Webb … and ripped a shot over the wall at Yankee Stadium.
Yep. And everyone on Twitter made the same joke about what his pace was, that he could end up hitting, oh, 100 more home runs than he did last year.
Here’s a roundup of jokes made about his 162-homer pace:
