Aaron Judge — what happens when a slab of granite loves a physical manifestation of a long home run very, very much — is being honored with his own section at Yankee Stadium.
Behold, the Judge’s Chambers!

The faux wood will be installed in section 104, behind where Judge plays in right field, and the Yankees are reportedly interested in filling the section with attendees from charity groups and non-profit organizations. Fans sitting in the section will also receive Styrofoam gavels to keep and robes that they’ll need to return.
Yankees fans are thrilled, as you could imagine.
@Yankees love this team and organization but this is too much. dont think this would be going on if George was still alive.

@Yankees I love the team but hate this gimmick. It's something the Mets would do. So bush league!

@Yankees please. Right out of the Mets kornball playbook. Boss must be spinning

Sure, it will be ironic when one of these fans sitting in the section is sent to the ER after a Judge home run. But we should celebrate our cherubic Brobdingnagian dingerlord as early and often as possible. The Yankees are so excited about Aaron Judge, they’ve given him his own section.
You can’t really blame them.
