Aaron Judge says Yankees should have Trump 'around more often' after win over Tigers

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone discussed his excitement about meeting President Donald Trump, who attended Thursday’s game on the 24th anniversary of 9/11.

New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge said the team’s meeting with President Donald Trump gave "everybody the confidence" to win. 

The Yankees defeated the Detroit Tigers, 9-3, Thursday at Yankee Stadium with Trump in attendance on the 24th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

"We put on a show. He came in here and told us we were going to win, so I think that gave everybody the confidence in the room to go out there and do it," Judge said, via NJ Advance Media.

"But I guess we gotta have him around more often when we go out there and score that many runs and do something like that."

Judge went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in the game, his 45th and 46th of his MVP-caliber season. Trump talked about meeting Judge and the Yankees on Friday.

"I said, ‘You gotta win this game. You're gonna make me look bad if you don’t win this game,’ and they were great. And Aaron Judge, he is some player, but he is some strong guy," Trump said Friday morning during an appearance on "Fox & Friends."
