Judge has connections and Sears accepted the kind gesture for a night out with his parents, who traveled from their home in South Carolina to be in New York for their very special Opening Day at Yankee Stadium.

New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge was getting booed at Yankee Stadium. Judge’s bobblehead day did not result in a bobblehead-worthy performance — the Yankees captain struck out four times in four at-bats to record the 10th golden sombrero of his career.

Dominguez hammered three home runs in Friday night’s game. It was the first multi-home run game for the 22-year-old outfielder. Judge, who holds the American League record for home runs in a single season, has had many multi-homer games in his career. But he’s never hit three in one game.
