The Superstar of the New York Yankees, Aaron Judge, said the team meeting with President Donald Trump gave “all confidence” to win.
The Yankees defeated the Tigers of Detroit, 9-3, on Thursday at Yankee Stadium with Trump attending the 24th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
“We put a show. He came here and told us that we were going to win, so I think that gave everyone the confidence in the room to leave and do it,” said Judge, through NJ Advance Media.

“But I suppose we have to have it more often when we go out and write down those races and do something like that.”
Judge was 3 of 4 with a couple of solo homers in the game, its 45th and 46th of its MVP caliber season. Trump talked about meeting Judge and the Yankees on Friday.
“I said: ‘You have to win this game, you will make me look bad if this game does not want’ and they were great and Aaron Judge, he is a player, but he is a strong guy,” Trump said Friday morning during an appearance in “Fox & Friends.”

“He has the biggest forearms, you know that I have seen weightlifters, I have never seen the arms so big. And he is also a fantastic person, that is great. He got up, hit two homers, a single.”
In the season, Judge has an average. The two -time MVP of the American League is online to add more hardware, since it is one of the favorites to win the award for the third time this season.
The designated batter of the Yankees, Giancarlo Stanton, also hit a solitary home run in the team’s victory, since they could save the series after they lost the first two games of their three set set with the Tigers.
