Aaron Judge has dominated headlines during this All-Star break, not just for his MVP-caliber stats but for his candor and sense of legacy with the Yankees. Speaking in Atlanta ahead of Tuesday’s 2025 MLB All-Star Game, Judge told Marca that his mission is to uphold the Yankees’ legacy, taking direct inspiration from Derek Jeter. Judge, who this week broke Jeter’s record for most seven seasons with a WAR over five in Yankees history, now trails only icons like Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle. That biographical milestone signals his deepening place among franchise legends.

On a personal note, Judge’s All-Star Game bat made news across SI and Fox News by featuring a reference to 2 Corinthians 5:7, a favorite Bible verse, along with portraits of his newborn daughter Nora—born in January—and his two dogs, Penny and Gus. He told MLB Network that fatherhood has “been a blessing,” hinting at greater meaning behind his strong campaign. Yankees fans took to social media, showering the bat and Bible verse with praise after images went viral on Topps’ and yankspress’ Instagram accounts.

Judge continues to move merchandising mountains, surpassing everyone except Shohei Ohtani in recent jersey sales, according to Major League Baseball reports. His social and commercial profile is massive, and All-Star Game voting confirmed it: Judge garnered the most votes of any AL player, securing his seventh trip to the midsummer classic.

On the field, Judge is having one of the greatest seasons in memory, leading MLB with a 355 average, 1.195 OPS, and near the top with 35 home runs and 125 hits at just the halfway mark. According to MLB.com and ABC7 Chicago, he’s on pace for 435 total bases, a number not seen since baseball’s golden age.

Judge made headlines with his honest take on the new Automated Ball-Strike system, telling SI that while change is inevitable, “I love the human element” and the role of umpires. His media rounds this week included a Pat McAfee Show appearance and statements about the Yankees’ recent slump, calling the season a shot at redemption after last year’s World Series error in center field, as reported by MLB.com.

He remains the face of the Yankees and arguably the sport, described by rivals as destined for Cooperstown and likely to add another AL MVP if he maintains this pace. As the All-Star Game approaches, Judge is both a walking headline and a historic presence in pinstripes, with fans, media, and teammates all recognizing they’re witnessing a chapter in Yankees—and baseball—history.
