2017 has been pretty good to Aaron Judge.

The New York Yankees outfielder set the rookie home run record, had a two-run shot to lead New York over Minnesota in the AL Wild Card game on Tuesday, and now has baseball’s most popular-selling jersey.

Judge’s No. 99 tops the list of the best-selling jerseys sold from MLBShop.com since Opening Day, according to Sports Illustrated.

Judge becomes the second rookie to have the best-selling jersey since Chicago Cubs star Kris Bryant in 2015.

The Rookie of the Year and MVP candidate hit 52 home runs this season, most ever by a rookie and quickly carried that over to the AL Wild Card game, lining a two-run shot over the left-field wall against the Twins.

New York beat Minnesota 8-4 and now face the Cleveland Indians in the ALDS starting Thursday night.

You can follow Aaron on twitter @TheJudge44 where his bio states, “Christian. Faith, Family, then Baseball. If what you did yesterday still seems big today, then you haven’t done anything today!”
