On Friday evening, the New York Yankees will host the Colorado Rockies in the Bronx.
During the game, New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge hit his 49th home run of the season (and his seventh in eight games).
Many people reacted to the news on social media, and one person who sent a post (about his Instagram Story) was the star of the Golden State Warriors, Draymond Green.
Green wrote: “MVP!”
Judge is in his ninth season in the MLB (all with the Yankees).
He has appeared in six All-Star games and was named Rookie of the Year in 2017 and MVP in 2022.
The 32-year-old is on his way to becoming one of the most remarkable Yankees of all time.

The Yankees are in first place in the American League East with a record of 76-53 in 129 games.
They have a narrow 2.5 game lead over the Baltimore Orioles.
Given the way the team is playing (and Judge’s brilliant performance), there’s an excellent chance he’ll win his second AL MVP title.

As for Green, he just completed his 12th season in the NBA (all with Golden State).
The former Michigan State star finished the year averaging 8.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 49.7% from the field and 39.5% from three-point range in 55 games.
However, the Warriors lost in the play-in tournament against the Sacramento Kings and thus missed the NBA playoffs.
