Aaron Judge is on the verge of making baseball history.<\/p>\n

The NY Yankee slugger is on the verge of making history with 11 games remaining and two home runs needed to break Roger Maris\u2019s record of 61 home runs in a year. The born-again Christian<\/a>‘s Twitter profile reads, Christian. Faith, Family, then Baseball and it’s for reasons you may not have guessed. <\/p>\n

Aaron Judge is one of the biggest players in baseball. 6\u2019 7\u201d slugger was adopted by his parents and raised in the small town of Linden, CA. His parents didn\u2019t mention the adoption until Aaron started asking questions. Calling the adoption, “no big deal,” but knowing the impact of growing up in a strong Christian home to give him the opportunities to now play professional baseball is a dream come true. As the Bible says, “it’s truly more blessed to give than to receive,” Aaron’s parents are convinced the blessing of adoption was all theirs. Aaron himself told Daily Citizen<\/a>,<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel they kind of picked me,\u201d Judge told a reporter. \u201cI feel that God was the one that matched us together.\u201d<\/p>\n

His parents Wayne and Patty also believe it was a miracle. \u201cWayne Judge calls the family\u2019s adoption of Aaron a \u201cmiracle,\u201d saying \u201cWords can\u2019t describe how proud of him we are.\u201d After her son mentioned how blessed he was to hail from such a family, his mother, Patty, responded by saying, \u201cWe\u2019re more blessed than he is.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Now he is paying it forward and back in exciting ways. Judge is intentional about putting his faith and relationship with God first. 2 Corinthians 5:17 is the banner across his social media and one of his favorite Bible verses. He’s also actively involved in good deeds through his foundation. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of my favorite Bible verses<\/a>,\u201d says Judge according to Daily Citizen. \u201c[I] try to live my life by it, and always trust the Man above and what He\u2019s got in store for us. We never know what\u2019s around the corner, but if we have faith in Him, He will lead us in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
