He can't keep up this pace, I don't think.

Adam Judge. -By far. He's a beast.
-A beast. A beast, man. -Yeah, he's amazing.
-So you think he's the real deal, then?
He's only been up here for a month, month and a half.
-I mean, I hope so. I don't want to jinx it.
-Got a picture right there.
-Yeah, I think he's gonna be a superstar.

-A little bit. I can see it. -A little bit?
You can see it? -The freckles.

[ Both laughing ]
Judge, you're the man, bro.
I had a feeling. I knew it.
-Right on. It gives it away.
-You're the future, man. We love you here, man.
-What do you think so far of the year?
-I think some of the young players that they have now
have gotten people perhaps that
weren't as excited about them before really into it.
Like Aaron Judge.
-Mm-hmm.
-Love him. He's exciting. -Love him.
So if Aaron Judge were sitting here right now,
what kind of advice would you give him?
You know, young guy on a young team and in New York City.
What kind of advice would you give him?
-I probably would just say be yourself,
because it seems to be working so far.
-Just be myself.
You say you love him. -I really do.
-People say we look alike, but I --
-You know, honestly, I really do.
Well, maybe it's the glasses and the haircut on you.
But he's got the Yankee hat, so...
-I'm Aaron Judge, by the way.
-Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
The family is never gonna believe this, never.
I think I'm gonna cry.
-Little selfie.
[ Camera shutter clicks ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-It's hard to believe that now.
Aaron Judge, he's a stud. Thank you, Aaron.
