The New York Yankees prodigious slugger Aaron Judge wore this gray Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders jersey during the 2016 MiLB season, the year of his MLB debut. Judge began the season in Triple A, crushing 19 homers with 65 RBI and a .270 batting average in 93 games. Judge’s excellent performance earned a call-up to the Yankees for a 27-game stint with the Big League club at the end of the year. Judge hit four homers in his first Major League season before exploding for a 52-home run, record-breaking campaign in 2017.
This highly sought-after rookie season Judge collectible is a gray mesh button-down jersey with a “RailRiders” logo patch sewn on the chest of the jersey. Judge’s number “99”, already one of the most iconic set of numerals in MLB, is sewn on the chest and back of the jersey in red and navy tackle twill. A MiLB logo patch is sewn on the back outside collar. A Russell Athletic size “XL” tag is sewn on the front left tail. Judge has signed the first “9” digit on the back of the jersey in silver marker. This item comes with a RailRiders LOA signed by the team’s president and general manager.
