..in Linden, CA...and he just robbed Asian superstar Ohtani.. ;) ;D:
Judge takes home run away from Ohtani in MVP robbery
From one MVP to another — take that!
Aaron Judge robbed Shohei Ohtani of a home run with a spectacular catch Wednesday night, leaping above the center-field fence at Yankee Stadium to keep the ball in play with his glove before snatching it in his bare hand on the way down.
“If I was a good outfielder I would have caught in on the first try,” Judge cracked, drawing laughs. “A juggling act there, but we made the play. It’s tough kind of timing those ones up.”
With one out in the top of the first inning, Ohtani sent a high fly to deep center against New York Yankees rookie pitcher Jhony Brito. The 6-foot-7 Judge went back to the wall and jumped, a little to the right of the 408-foot sign in front of Monument Park.
The ball hit the heel of Judge’s glove well above the fence and caromed back toward the warning track. As he landed on his feet, Judge stuck out his right hand and made the grab — a snapshot play headed for the highlight reels in this three-game series between the Angels and Yankees featuring several of baseball’s biggest stars.

This Ohtanii guy is so famous that his sponsorship alone racks up big time money for dude.
The other great ball player that pitched and hits well is Babe Ruth. Yeah, the legendary Babe. Is Ohtani on that same level of greatness too?
