Aaron Judge’s 2025 is coming along nicely.

The New York Yankees superstar was named the 2025 Topps Baseball Series 1 cover athlete, an achievement reserved for the best baseball stars.

Topps made the announcement Monday and also revealed a video in which Judge learned of the honor. 

A nice surprise, starting with storytelling in the way only Spike Lee can do it. Ronald Acuna Jr., last year’s Series 1 cover athlete, also congratulated Judge for the honor.

Judge and his wife, Samantha Bracksieck, also recently announced they're expecting their first chlid. Can 2025 be the year Judge gets his first World Series ring?
