Aaron James Judge got adopted the day after he was born. He became aware of it at around ten years old, yet he remarkably felt at ease with his adoption story. Growing up with his adoptive mother showing him care and affection since he was a baby, Judge never had to think about anything differently or wonder about anything.
He grew up in Linden, California, with his adoptive parents, Wayne and Patty Judge, who were both teachers. His parents were aware of his athletic inclinations at an early age. Aaron was taught to prioritize education, but his parents have also consistently encouraged his athletic capacity. Judge made his Major League Baseball debut in 2016, playing for the New York Yankees. From then, he skyrocketed to baseball superstardom and simultaneously broke records and earned awards. The most remarkable was his 62 home runs in an American League single-season home run record. He surpassed Roger Maris with 61 home runs in 1961, a 61-year history.
