Aaron Judge now carries the weight of expectation of millions of MLB fans on his shoulders. Being just two homers short of Roger Maris’ AL record, everyone’s eyes are on Judge, with the bar set really high. Though the reaction to Aaron’s second double which just about crossed the yard, was not as expected by Aaron Judge.

“I think the second double, I didn’t know if it was a foul (or not), I didn’t hear any cheering, I didn’t know what was going on,” said Aaron. “Fans packed it out to see us win a ballgame and see some homers. I’ve gotta cut out this double stuff, I guess,” Judge added.
