New York Yankees open 'Judge's Chambers' for Aaron Judge

By Alex Butler

May 22 (UPI) -- Second-year outfielder Aaron Judge is obliterating MLB pitching for a league-leading 15 home runs. Now he has his own "Judge's Chambers" at Yankee Stadium.

The team tweeted out a photo of the 18-seat area in section 104 in right field Monday before its 4-2 win against the Kansas City Royals.

"Introducing...The Judge's Chambers. #AllRise," the Yankees wrote in a caption for the photo on Twitter.

You can't buy tickets to sit in the section, as the Yankees will choose specific fans and families to sit in the seats. The team will first chose fans wearing Judge jerseys and t-shirts for the honor to pay homage to 'Your Honor.'

"It's pretty cool," Judge told MLB.com. "When you come to a game, it's supposed to be fun for the players and the fans. I feel like it might be something that's fun for the fans out there."

The Yankees will also give fans little black judge robes with the Yankees logo on them for the section, which features wood paneling and reads "The Judge's Chambers." The robes feature Judge's No. 99 on the back. Fans were also given gavels and wigs on Monday.
