When Silver is Gold: Aaron Judge Snags First Career Silver Slugger Award

If he hasn’t started clearing out his trophy case, he better start now. Announced this afternoon by MLB, Aaron Judge is the winner of the American League Silver Slugger Award for the right field position.

I mean, we all knew it. The New York Yankees knew it. Heck, even Aaron Judge probably knew it. Still, it’s his first major award and it’s still exciting.

Another one!! Congrats @TheJudge44 on winning your first AL Silver Slugger for RF! First of many, we think… pic.twitter.com/KOTInbhbrS
