Yankees’ Aaron Judge Makes History With Iconic Baseball Candy

New York Yankees captain and slugger Aaron Judge has a lot of accomplishments under his belt. He just secured a trip to his seventh All-Star game, he holds the AL record for single-season home runs and he's a three-time MVP. Now, Judge is making history with a new honor: He'll be the first ever MLB player featured on a pouch of Big League Chew chewing gum.

According to a press release from Big League Chew, which comes in pouches filled with gum shreds, Judge will be featured on packages of their Grand Slam Grape flavor. The pouches will be available to purchase at retailers like Dick's Sporting Goods and Costco starting this month. A portion of the sales will be donated to Judge's All Rise Foundation, a charity focusing on youth leadership through a variety of initiatives.

“Big League Chew has always been more than gum — it’s a part of the game,” Judge said in the release. “I chewed it as a kid, and now being on the pouch is surreal. It’s a full-circle moment and an honor. Even more meaningful is using this platform to support the work we’re doing through the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation.”
