Silencing the South Side (June 2017)
In a 2017 game against the Chicago White Sox, fans relentlessly heckled Judge during a rain-soaked contest. Judge responded in the sixth inning by smashing a line-drive two-run home run into the left-field seats. As he rounded first base, he gave the hecklers what he called a “little peek” to acknowledge the chatter. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Turning Boos to Cheers (May 2024)
After a rough start to the 2024 season that saw him booed at Yankee Stadium following a four-strikeout performance, Judge authored one of the greatest individual months in MLB history. [1, 2, 3, 4]
    • Historic May: He recorded 26 extra-base hits in May 2024, tying Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig for the most ever through May.
    • Power Surge: He hit 12 home runs during the month, including a 473-foot blast that was one of the hardest-hit balls of the season.
    • Consistency: He extended an on-base streak to 26 consecutive games, proving his resilience after the early-season criticism. [1, 2, 3]

Handling Rival Crowds
  • San Francisco (2024): Despite heavy boos at Oracle Park—a result of his near-signing with the Giants in free agency—Judge remained productive, acknowledging that top-tier athletes often face such backlash.
  • Toronto Gesture: While opposing fans often taunt him, his interactions can also be heartwarming, such as when a Blue Jays fan gifted a Judge home run ball to a young Yankees fan, leading to a viral meeting between Judge and the boy the following day. [1, 2, 3]
