Some players were born to be fan favorites. Take Aaron Judge, for example. From the moment his massive frame and penchant for hitting some of the most majestic home runs you will ever see debuted in the Bronx, the talented outfielder has been the face of the franchise and one of the most popular players in the major leagues. It’s a no-brainer that a player as naturally athletic and gifted as he is would become a fan favorite.
But sometimes other guys come along and, despite not being the most talented player on the planet, manage to make themselves into fan favorites.
