Judge was born in Sacramento and grew up not far away in Linden, and had many friends and family in the crowd of 12,113 at the minor league park that is hosting the A’s.

Aaron Judge celebrated his return to the Sacramento area by hitting two home runs for the New York Yankees against the Athletics to extend his major league lead to 14.

There will be many firsts in West Sacramento now that the A’s have brought Major League Baseball temporarily to the capital region. For Yankees superstar Aaron Judge, the weekend marks the first time he’s playing professional baseball in the town in which he was born.
