Judge has delivered one of the finest offensive campaigns in baseball history, breaking Roger Maris’ long-standing American League and franchise record for most home runs during a season. However, Judge’s influence is not limited to his on-field displays. The Yankees slugger is respected unanimously by his teammates and everyone in the Yankees clubhouse. Nestor Cortes has become the latest player to confirm the same. In a recent article that he authored for The Players’ Tribune, Cortes wrote the following: Talkin' Yanks@TalkinYanksQuotes from Nestor. Like he says, this team is special(via @PlayersTribune)3668238Quotes from Nestor. Like he says, this team is special(via @PlayersTribune) https://t.co/gT9XuqRGoO “I feel so fortunate to be around guys like Aaron, and Rizzo, and Cole, and Sevy, and just on and on. This group, I’m telling you … it’s special. We care so much about one another. Let me give you a quick example. So when we’re on the road, and we finish up that last game of a series and we’re packing up to leave? A lot of the players, myself included, we won’t leave the clubhouse until Aaron leaves. No one says anything. We don’t make a big deal of it. But it’s just like … that’s our guy. It’s a respect thing.” - Nestor Cortes If it wasn’t for Judge’s phenomenal season, Cortes might have been the story of the season for the Yankees. New York’s dependable starter has compiled a career-best 2.44 ERA across 28 starts this year.
