Video: Aaron Judge Delivers on Promise to Hit Home Run for Yankees Coach's Dad

It's hard enough to hit a home run at the major league level as it is, let alone when someone promises it will happen in a game against Clayton Kershaw.

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge delivered on one of those promises in his team's 5-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday.

As ESPN detailed, Judge approached Yankees bullpen catching coach Jason Brown's father, John, before the contest and said "I'll hit one for you tonight." He did just that in the third inning and gave the Bronx Bombers an early 2-1 lead with his blast off Kershaw.
