Aaron Judge was a towering figure in baseball—literally and figuratively. The 6-foot-7 Yankees captain and 2022 AL MVP was one of the most respected and recognizable players in the league. He had become the face of the franchise and a symbol of leadership both on and off the field.
In a statement released by the Yankees, General Manager Brian Cashman said, “We are devastated by the loss of Aaron. He was more than a baseball player—he was a leader, a role model, and a cherished member of our family.”
The Yankees have postponed tonight’s game against the Boston Red Sox, and tributes are pouring in from across the sports world. Fans have gathered outside both Yankee Stadium and the barbershop, leaving flowers, notes, and jerseys in honor of the late slugger.
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred issued a statement calling Judge’s death “a heartbreaking loss for baseball and its fans everywhere.”
Jordan’s Barbershop, a favorite among local residents and pro athletes alike, remains closed as the investigation continues.
