Who threw those bills at Yankee Stadium and why?
When deciphering the mysterious rain of US dollars, the most common guess turned out to be Aaron Judge’s contract. As baseball fans know, Judge has batted well all season. This year, his performance led the Yankees to run. But his long-term contract expires at the end of the season.
MLB insider Bryan Hoch tweeted about the incident Quote ,
” I didn’t see this scene, but My father-in-law mentioned it today. Who throws money at the Yankees dugout after the win? Is this for the Sign Aaron Judge Fund?”
Followers reply, write,
“Yes, my dad and I saw this and don’t know what happened.”
