NY Yankees’ Aaron Judge Puts Christ First, On and Off the Field

Aaron Judge, right fielder and team captain for the New York Yankees, is one of the main faces of Major League Baseball. The reigning American League MVP, he continues to post some of the best numbers in the league. He’s currently hitting .342, with 37 home runs and 85 RBIs. Judge has remained consistently dominant on the field. He also consistently talks about his relationship with Christ and continues to be vocally humble about his faith. The July 11-15 MLB All-Star Week this year was no exception.

In a large media interview leading up to the All-Star game, Judge was asked about his tendency to be outspoken about his faith. The interviewer asked how he would respond to the claim that being famous and having money can satisfy you in life.

Judge responded by saying that Jesus had given him a platform and a voice to speak. He said it’s fulfilling to have this ability and play this game — but not as fulfilling as having a relationship with Christ. His advice to people who are looking for more is, “Build a relationship with him and that’ll solve all your problems.”

Awesome!

Wow. God bless him. I didn’t know.

Think I’ll be looking at him differently and maybe pulling more for him from now on.

I’m not Catholic but that is cool.

“Build a relationship with him and that’ll solve all your problems.”

Not necessarily so. Christ gives us the faith to deal with our problems. It's not the same thing.

I don’t think he is Catholic. Sounds like a non denominational type.
