There are only a handful of people on the planet who could ever conceivably be mistaken for Aaron Judge … but it still recently managed to happen.
The New York Yankees star Judge appeared this week on “Casa de Klub,” the podcast of his former Yankees teammate Corey Kluber. During the episode, Judge told a story of how he was mistaken for Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon during spring training in Florida.
“In Tampa, it’s spring training,” said Judge. “I’m grocery shopping. I’m in the produce section. I’m grabbing some fruit. I see this guy across the way, giving me the look like you saw a ghost.
“All of a sudden, I kinda walk by him and he’s like, ‘How are you here?’” Judge went on. “I’m like, ‘I gotta get groceries, man.’ … He’s like, ‘But I just saw you on TV playing in Orlando. How are you down here in Tampa?’ I’m sitting there and I’m like, ‘Oh damn. He thinks I’m Aaron Gordon.’
