Aaron Judge is presently in the best hard-hitting form of his MLB career so far. Leading the home run tally, Judge has been smashing the ball out of the park at will. His power-packed shots are really hurting opposition teams. Recently, it hurt a fan too.
A superstar slugger for the New York Yankees on the constant rise, Aaron Judge is rewriting MLB history. Judge’s ability to slam home runs with ease is helping the Yankees to remain atop the American League East chart. His razor-sharp defense makes him an even more valuable asset.
In a recent game against the Seattle Mariners, a shot from Judge’s bat hurt someone. However, it wasn’t the opposition. It was rather a spectator. A Yankee supporter by the name of Paul Giannone.
A foul shot of Aaron Judge bangs into a fan
Off-late, it’s almost as if every shot Aaron Judge plays flies out of the ballpark. It did in the game against the Mariners on Tuesday night too. But only that it was a foul shot. So it had no impact on the opposition. The Mariners also ended up beating the Yankees by a 7-2 margin.
But it sure did make some other sort of impact. The foul ball hit a spectator in the head. That person was Paul Giannone, a Brooklyn pizza shop owner. Known as Paulie Gee among his acquaintances, he is a lifelong Yankees supporter.
Giannone was sitting at the first base side, where he got hit by Judge’s foul shot. According to a report, Giannone described the incident by saying, “So I go to look up and it came on me so quick. I got this high, I couldn’t even look up to see it… Bang!”
Giannone also added saying, “I thought it would be really nice if I could get Judge to sign this ball.” The Yankees’ management was informed about the matter. Sources later reported that Judge agreed to sign the ball.
The present condition of the fan
Hit on the middle of the forehead. Giannone was bleeding. He went to NYU Langone Hospital. The doctors said he was suffering from a concussion. However, the bruise on his head was still visible on Friday. He complained of still experiencing a ringing in his ears and vertigo.
