Aaron Judge launched a solo -homer after meeting President Trump in the clubhouse of Yankees before the game against the Tigers on Thursday.
And two frames later Judge went deep again.
The Yankees Slugger sent his 45th home run of the 413 feet season to the left field in the second half of the first inning to give New York a 1-0 lead.
In the third inning, Judge crushed his second home run of the night to even attract the legendary Joe Dimaggio for fourth place on the list of home runs of the Yankees of all time with 361 total dingers.
The Thuis Run arrived less than an hour after the judge had shaken hands with Trump, who was in the Bronx to commemorate the 24th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of 11 September.
Trump visited the clubhouse and shook the hands of every player who was there, including Judge.
“It’s good to meet you,” Judge told the president.
“You have so much muscle, you have to hit the ball perfectly,” Trump said to judge. You are a fantastic player. … you are an incredible player. “
Before the players ‘hands shake, Trump addressed the group, predicting the Yankees would be’ the [playoffs]”And that they would” go all the way. ”
“I think we will start from tonight and that you are going to do well,” he said.
Trump looked at the game from a suite in Yankee Stadium and sat with owner Hal Steinbrenner and team curtor Randy Levine.
Trump was shown the video board of the stadium and the Yes network that was broadcast in the middle of the second inning after announcer Paul Olden took a moment to recognize the victims of the attacks of 11 September.
The Tigers brought the game to the top of the second, but Ben Rice and José Caballero both drove in Runs to put the Yankees 3-1 in the bottom half of the inning before the judge homed in the next inning for the second time to extend the leadership.
