• FOR THE WEEK OF MaRcH 20 - 26, 2023 • YOUR WEEKLY GUIDE TO TV ENTERTaINMENT Grown siblings vie for their father's attention and empire in the fourth and final season of "Succession," premiering Sunday, March 26, on HBO. Aaron Judge had a season for the ages in 2022, his 62 home runs surpassing Roger Maris' American League mark of 61 in 1961. And that was followed by a contract to match. No, the New York Yankees weren't about to let their superstar center fielder walk to the San Francisco Giants or anywhere else in free agency, so they secured him through his age 39 season with a nine-year, $360 million contract. The 2022 AL MVP has been a stalwart since arriving full time at Yankee Stadium in 2017, hitting a then-rookie record of 52 homers to go with 114 RBIs, a .284 average, a .422 on-base percentage and an OPS of 1.049. Rookie of the Year honors would follow, to go along with his first Silver Slugger Award and All-Star appearance. But that would pale in comparison to his 2022 campaign in which his 62 homers, league-leading 131 RBI, .311 average, .425 on-base percentage and 1.111 OPS would put him in the record books alongside Maris, Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio and Mantle as an all-time Yankee great. Now it's 2023 and as is usually the case in the Bronx, the focus is on winning championships. As the team's captain, Judge will continue to lead by exam- ple and push the team toward its ultimate goal of being the last team standing in October/ November. Judge and the Yankees can be seen in action Thursday, March 23, when they play the St. Louis Cardinals in a preseason game in Jupiter, Fla., streaming on ESPN+. Here comes Judge – and the Yankees – in '23 By George Dickie playerprofile
