Rejoice, Yankee fans! Aaron Judge was finally seen swinging a bat.

Never did we think anybody would be this elated to hear a baseball player doing the most basic baseball activity, but such is the case with Aaron Judge and all of the injury issues he’s dealt with since the start for the 2018 season.

If not for the coronavirus pandemic, Judge still wouldn’t have taken the field in 2020, meaning he would’ve had yet another significantly shortened campaign. The star slugger has played in just 214 games over the past two years due to a slew of ailments, and this time fans were beyond frustrated when he had a collapsed lung and fractured rib go undiagnosed.
