On May 22, Yankee Stadium debuted the Judge’s Chambers in Section 104, a paneled area of 18 seats arranged in three rows, set below and adjacent to the right-field bleachers to cheer on the American League Rookie of the Month and Statcast phenomena, Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge.
By September 1, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor donned a black robe and sat in the Judge’s Chambers to cheer him on. In between these two events is a season few players ever had or imagined having.
For each of the first three months of the season, Judge won Rookie of the Month (ROM) honors.
