The American baseball player Aaron Judge, who plays as an outfielder in Major League Baseball (MLB), hit his 62nd home run of the season last Tuesday, breaking an age-old record. For the 30-year-old, his Christian faith and the values associated with it are important.
Scored 61 years ago Roger Maris 61 home runs. Aaron Judge, who, like Maris, wore the jersey for the New York Yankees, now broke his record. Admiring reactions to these feats followed on the NFL superstar’s social media Patrick Mahomes to US President Joe Biden to the son of former record holder Roger Maris Jr.
Like the Swiss news portal watson.ch reported, Aaron Judge is a person who does not attach much importance to the hustle and bustle around his person. The reason given for this humble attitude to life is his Christian faith, which the 30-year-old had in his Profile description on Twitter positioned in first place. Below he writes about the priorities in his life:
“Faith, family, then baseball.”
He then expresses the importance of humility in the following lines:
“If what you did yesterday seems big to you today, then you haven’t done anything today!”
Aaron Judge inherited his beliefs and values from his childhood from his parents, who adopted him the day after he was born. They told him this when he was a child. Opposite of „New York Post“ Aaron Judge described in the spring of 2015 that he does not see this turn in his life as accidental and in fact feels blessed to have been accepted by Patty and Wayne Judge. To this he said:
“It feels like they chose me.”
And further:
“God brought us together.”
With God, the baseball star also expresses the gratitude he feels for his current success. Judge posted the following lines about his record on October 5, 2022 via Twitter:
“What a night. Such a blessing from God to share this moment with so many special people!”
He also thanked the son of Roger Marishis teammates, his family and the Yankee fans.
