The New York Yankees’ captain, Aaron Judge, has left baseball fans in awe of his team’s performance. Judge’s historic game cannot be forgotten. The New York Yankees fans were excited about how the Yankees performed and are well aware of the team's strategies for the Opening Weekend. Fans took to X to share their reactions to Judge's historic game.

Fans excited and divided over Yankees’ historic performance

While the New York Yankees managed to pull hard for a solid, yet a memorable game, fans have been glued to the TV screens and mobile phones and are hyped enough to ensure they don’t miss out on any chance of Yankees’ brilliant performance.

However, baseball fans on X remained divided, with some claiming the “Torpedo” bat was the reason why the Yankees performed well. Others claimed the “Torpedo” bat wasn’t legal, which it is, as per MLB rules and guidelines. Yankees’ loyal supporters, however, remained guarded, stating the players performed brilliantly. Fans shared memes and hilarious posts on X. Here are some of the best compilations.
A fan shared the iconic “hot takes” meme, saying:

“It’s not the bat..the Yankees are just good..change my mind.”
For some fans, being able to experience the historic moment was a big deal. A fan said:

“This weekend was wild for the Yankees. I'm glad I was in the house to witness some of history.“
For some fans, it was a bomb weekend. A fan said:

“What a bomb weekend.”
While other baseball fans felt the bat was illegal, which wasn’t.
A fan said:

“Illegal bats in a little league stadium.”
Another fan questioned the authenticity of allowing a different kind of bat. He said:

“I really don’t get how bats like this are allowed.”

Yankees captain Aaron Judge credits his hard work during the spring training

Aaron Judge managed to hit four homers in just three games. In Sunday’s 12-3 win, Aaron Judge was able to hit a home run in the first inning, and after that, the Milwaukee Brewers avoided pitching to him, walking him three times in a row.
About his historic win, Aaron Judge said:
“Like I said, I wanted to have a better March and April than I did last season, I did some stuff throughout spring training, but I think the biggest thing is this offense. Every time I walk up there, there’s guys on base, there’s traffic. The at-bats in front of me, even if it’s an out, are seven, eight, nine pitches. That makes my job a little easier.”
