Aaron Judge probably won’t give you the shirt off his back. Why would he, when it’s worth more than $160,000?
That’s how much the game-worn jersey from the New York Yankees star’s debut game sold for at an auction of baseball memorabilia Sunday. The jersey worn by Judge on Aug. 13, 2016 — when he hit a home run in his first major-league at-bat — sold for $160,644 to be exact, making it the most expensive game-worn jersey from any major U.S. sport over the past 15 years, according to auctioneer Steiner Sports.
The previous high was $135,060 for a jersey worn by Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry in the 2017 NBA Finals.
Judge, who has slammed 33 home runs this season and won the All-Star Game’s Home Run Derby earlier this month, is seen as one of baseball’s most exciting young players.
He’s one of the most exciting things to hit the memorabilia market too. Earlier this month, Judge’s autographed rookie baseball card sold for more than $14,000 on eBay, and another Judge jersey sold for $45,000 in June.
Judge didn’t get a cut of Sunday’s auction haul. Which is too bad, since it would have been almost a third of his yearly salary. Judge is making $544,500 this year.

Who`s worse?
Sonny Gray or Aaron Judge?
Aaron Judge is a K machine.....Just throw him balls in the dirt and he swings at it....How embarrassing.
