Prior to the beginning of the 2022 Major League Baseball season, a new legislation is directly affecting the New York Yankees and New York Mets.
According to reporter Dennis Young of the New York Daily News, a new legislation on New York’s private-sector employees would prevent unvaccinated Yankees and Mets players from playing home games.
This is the exact same term that has affected Kyrie Irving’s participation with the Brooklyn Nets in the games at the Barclays Center during the 2021-22 NBA season.
Yankees President Randy Levine stated that he is working together with the city council and all other appropriate officials regarding this issue.
The star outfielder Aaron Judge is one of the players of the Bronx team that could miss many games in 2022 for not being vaccinated against COVID-19. Recently, Judge did not want to give his opinion on the delicate issue that would automatically detract from the team’s strength in its aspirations to fight for the pennant of the East Division of the American League.
Aaron Judge Numbers with the Yankees
Judge has 6 years of experience in the Major Leagues, and he has always played with the New York Yankees. There, he has managed to consolidate himself as one of the most powerful right-handed hitters in the sport.
The slugger just got one of his best MLB performances: he registered a .287 average and .373 OBP with 39 home runs and 98 RBIs.
After having physical problems in the following years of the 2017 American League Rookie of the Year campaign, when he hit 52 home runs, Aaron Judge proved to be fully recovered in 2021: he played a total of 148 games with a Bronx team that finished in second place in the American League East Division with a record of 92 wins and 70 losses.
