Being one of the best and most famous players in MLB comes with a special package.
More media attention, less time with your family and friends, and dedicating more time to fans is part of the deal.
Wherever New York Yankees slugger and former MVP Aaron Judge goes, a loyal contingent of fans go with him, asking for autographs or just a quick chat.
Judge dedicates a lot of time and energy to his fans, and when he goes to the stadium, he is one of the most sought-after players.
As the World Series moved to Arizona, Judge made an appearance at Chase Field on Monday to receive the Roberto Clemente Award ahead of Game 3.
“Just being a nominee is an incredible honor that a lot of players look forward to. Now getting a chance to be a Roberto Clemente Award winner, it’s tough to describe. The legacy [Clemente] left — we can sit here and talk about the stats, what he did on the field. He was a generational talent on the field, but he was a generational ambassador for this game off the field,” he said, per MLB.com
Speaking of off-the-field legacy, Judge makes sure to treat his fans kindly and always with a good attitude.
He made a young fan’s day when signing a ball on Monday, via MLB Network on Twitter.

He is seen as a superhero by thousands of kids across America and the world.
Many of these young kids want to be like him someday, and he really knows and understands that and everything that comes with it.
