The player from Sacramento, who has been with the Yankees since 2016 and in 2022 holds the record americano for most home runs hit in a season, he is a great Dachshund lover. Penny, Gus’s “older sister”, had already entered his life a few years ago and played a fundamental role in Judge’s choice to renew his contract with the New York Yankees. Anthony Rizzohis teammate, in fact in turn has a dog with which Penny has made friends: precisely on the basis of the relationship with dogs, Rizzo has convinced (half-jokingly) Judge to stay with the Yankeesleveraging on the relationship that the two dogs have developed and on the need to keep them together.

“It hit me in the heart,” the player confirmed to Jimmy Fallon during a participation in the Tonight Show in which he was asked how Rizzo convinced him to stay with the Yankees. Love for Penny certainly played an important role, even if it is more probable that the nine-year contract was the one that convinced us in the end from 360 million.
