You've seen the headlines and highlights. This 6-foot-7, 282-pound hulk of a slugger has been compared not only to Babe Ruth, but also to Paul Bunyan. He belts 500-foot moon shots and holds the record for Statcast-era "exit velocity" at 121 MPH. He's also taken the collecting world by storm, with an exorbitant $160,000 paid at auction for his debut-game jersey. To sum up: Aaron Judge inspires awe.
Now, legendary artist Dick Perez has caught the fever. Raised in Harlem and currently based in Brooklyn, Perez became fascinated by Judge's home-run heroics and decided to put all of his Hall of Fame-related projects on hold to create this 2-foot x 2-1/2-foot, oil-on-canvas tribute. Yes, the Diamond Kingmaker himself has anointed a new sovereign. Judge's Herculean physique and iconic "99" number are on full glorious display against an appropriately epic backdrop of surrealist sky. All rise!
