Aaron Judge named 16th captain of the Yankees
Managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner made the announcement at the Stadium on Wednesday, as the Yankees had a press conference for Judge’s“It goes without saying what an honor that is,” Judge said, noting some of the previous team captains. “That’s a pretty good list right there. Not only great baseball players, but great ambassadors of the game and great ambassadors of the New York Yankees. … This is an incredible honor that I don’t take likely.
When Jeter retired in 2015, Cashman said the “captaincy should be retired with number 2. I wouldn’t give up another captain title to anybody else… He was so good and so perfect for that.”“Certainly, I shared my feelings out of respect to Derek Jeter and the career he had and the legacy he left,’’ Cashman said. “I felt it was appropriate to state that I’m not sure if we ever need one again. But that doesn’t mean if someone else is worthy, that emerges [that they shouldn’t be captain].
