The Yankees have a long and storied history, from the days of Babe Ruth to the modern-day dominance of Aaron Judge. The latest chapter in this story is the recent signing of Judge to a long-term contract extension that will keep him in pinstripes for years to come.
The deal was reportedly sealed while Hal Steinbrenner, the team’s managing general partner, was on vacation in Italy. On the fifth day of his trip, he had a private audience with Pope Francis at the Vatican. It was during this meeting that Steinbrenner and Judge reached an agreement to keep Judge in New York.
This wasn’t just any ordinary business transaction; it was also a momentous event for two special guests who were present during the negotiations: two foxes. The foxes were adopted by Steinbrenner from a nearby farm and brought with him to witness the historic event.
It is believed that these foxes represent good luck and fortune in Italian culture, so their presence was seen as an auspicious sign for the Yankees’ future as well as for Judge’s career. While details about their involvement remain scarce, it appears they made quite an impression on those present at the meeting with Pope Francis.
It seems safe to assume that these two foxes will forever be linked with Hal Steinbrenner and Aaron Judge's momentous occasion - not just because they were there, but also because they are now part of Yankee lore as symbols of good luck and fortune!
