It was about thirty minutes before Aaron Judge was to be introduced as the 16th captain in Yankees history, and the slugger was ushered to an office on Yankee Stadium’s suite level for the formal signing of his nine-year, $360 million contract, finding a chair at the desk once used by principal owner George M. Steinbrenner. Judge fidgeted with the pen in his right hand as he scanned the legalese, and the room fell into an awkward hush. Judge noticed, remarking, “Wow, it’s really quiet.” Seated to Judge’s right, general manager Brian Cashman replied, “Yeah, it’s like one of your at-bats,” referring to Judge’s chase to break Roger Maris’ single-season American League home run record. That broke the ice, and in the time it took for one of Judge’s 62 blasts to leave the ballpark this past season, the paperwork was complete. Now Judge will turn his attention to the challenges and demands of the new contract, including his duties as the club’s leader, one tasked with delivering the 28th World Series championship in franchise history. #BXBOMBER2011 #THEFIRSTINNING #PINSTRIPEPRIDE #nyyankees #nyy #mlb #yankeestadium #pinstripepride #YankeesBeisbol #yankeesbaseball #yankeefan #yankeefans #yankeesfans #nyyankees #nyy #mlb #yankeestadium #pinstripepride #yankees #yankeesgame #baseball #baseballfamily #baseballislife #baseballday #baseballstar #baseballpark #baseballsback #baseballproblems #YankeesBeisbol #yankeesbaseball #yankeefan #yankeefans #tellyvizion #tellyvizionmedia #tellyvizionradio #yankeesfans #yankeesfan #yankeetwitter #yankeestwitter --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-first-inning/support
