Patty and Wayne Judge watched the final public act of another stirring night for their son, Aaron, who had just won the Home Run Derby and now was discussing it late Monday night or, this being the son of Patty and Wayne Judge, deflecting praise, avoiding self-aggrandizement.

504, 507, and 513 foot blasts. Mantlesque. And he uses the whole field. Hits for high average as well. And is a humble kid.
And a 501 footer as well.
6’7” of pure athlete. Had offers to advance post high school in football, basketball and baseball. Adopted the day after he was born. He appears to be well mannered and well grounded. At this moment, he appears to be the face of baseball. Will be fun to follow his career.
Adopted the day after he was born?
That’s awesome!

Oops...
His parents told him at age 10 that he was adopted, when it became clear he didn’t look like them. They are school teachers. Aaron adores them.
YEP
You see anybody hitting 500 fters during the season against 90 mph fastballs ?
And in the derby the pitches were batting practice speed where you have to supply more power
Who were the other players hitting it 500 feet during the home run derby...with the juiced balls? That’s all I’m asking.
My kid is 5 and adopted.
I cannot imagine waiting until age 10 to tell her, although
I have no idea how we are going to go about doing it.
My goal is to make her feel loved and wanted. I have one chance; don’t want to screw it up!
You will know when the time is right. God bless you.
