Aaron Judge, the superstar right fielder for the New York Yankees, is receiving a lot of support from his hometown of Linden, California during the World Series. Linden, a small town with a population of around 1,800, is buzzing with excitement over Judge’s accomplishments.
Local residents like Victoria Godwin, who manages Pizza Plus in Linden, are proud to see someone from their town achieve such great success. Businesses in Linden are showing their support for Judge by airing the World Series games and welcoming Yankees fans.

Despite being a quiet town, Linden is making sure Judge knows that he has their full support. Fans in Linden are rooting for Judge not just because of his success on the field, but also because of his involvement in the community and charitable work.
