If the World Series represents the final chapter of the baseball season, the end-of-season awards represent its epilogue, allowing us to firmly close the book on the year and begin to fully concentrate on the upcoming campaign. You already know that the Yankees made out well in the awards season, with superstar right fielder Aaron Judge leading the way with his third career AL MVP. How did they respond to their success on social media? Let\u2019s find out!<\/p>\n<p>O Captain, My Captain<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Where else would we begin? From the moment Donny Baseball announced that Aaron Judge had earned his third career MVP, the Yankees social media team went all-in, flooding the Internet with posts celebrating the award. In addition to the standard posts, the social media team stressed the fact that the Captain joins historic company in becoming just the fourth Yankee to win the AL\u2019s highest honor three times, that he won the award in back-to-back seasons,<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">They partnered with physicist Brian Greene, himself a native New Yorker, to break down Aaron Judge\u2019s home runs and defensive prowess as, well, physics equations. This is seriously one of the most unique posts I have ever seen on a baseball team\u2019s Instagram page, so if you watch only one of these clips, I recommend this one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Many of Judge\u2019s teammates shared <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DRBHqSpjgu1\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:the Yankees\u2019 first Instagram;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">the Yankees\u2019 first Instagram<\/a> post on their stories, including Cam Schlittler, Luis Gil, and Jasson Dom\u00ednguez.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"1196\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"standard-img\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/04d7c423934545f68a5ef0bb6e050834.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">For all of you Villanova alumni and Knicks fans out there, Josh Hart \u2014 a relative of Elston Howard \u2014 posted the judge emoji on his Twitter immediately after the announcement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Among his former teammates, CC Sabathia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/p\/17QeAcsCGV\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:took to his Facebook;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">took to his Facebook<\/a> to celebrate. While I didn\u2019t see any Instagram posts from Tyler Wade, he appears to have been at Judge\u2019s house as part of the celebration. Anthony Rizzo, meanwhile, made sure to highlight the true stars of the night: Judge\u2019s two dogs.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"1193\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"standard-img\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/c5681c420f814d1b0995b2ee6cf4b5ac.jpeg\"\/>Honoring John J.

Filippelli during the awards announcement on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Veterans\u2019 Day<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">CC Sabathia took to Instagram on Tuesday to honor his father, Carsten Sabathia Sr., who served in the US Navy, for Veterans\u2019 Day.<\/p>\n<p>A Happy Anniversary<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Gerrit and Amy Cole celebrated their ninth anniversary this week. To celebrate, the couple decided to explore their artistic side, which gave us this wonderful shot of Cole at a pottery wheel. Now I\u2019m no expert on pottery \u2014 although I can point you in the direction of some wonderful scholars who can talk your ear off about them \u2014 but it seems like he\u2019s doing a pretty good job, which just reinforces the notion that Gerrit Cole can do anything he sets his mind to, with the single exception of hitting a baseball (he has a career OPS+ of 8; that is not a typo).<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"1192\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"standard-img\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/5461c7368e0b8ee33be980bbc133c044.jpeg\"\/><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"1192\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"standard-img\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/84ef410e7f607d2b6524f193fdbdb332.jpeg\"\/>Cruuuuuuuuz<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Fernando Cruz posted some more pictures from the past season, as he evidently continues to empty his camera roll. This time, he focused on Yankees greats of previous eras that he got to meet this year.<\/p>\n<p>Congrats, Cashman<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/p\/1Gty7dsfBW\/?mibextid=wwXIfr\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:inducted into the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">inducted into the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame<\/a> this past week. While the GM has gotten some flack in recent years due to the organization\u2019s inability to get over the hump and earn its 28th World Series title, the honor is well-deserved \u2014 you don\u2019t spend almost three decades in the nation\u2019s toughest media market without a single losing season if you\u2019re not good at your job. Congratulations, Cashman!<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Kay Tries to Connect with Gen Alpha<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">No, don\u2019t ask me what it means. I have no idea, and at this point, I\u2019m kinda afraid to ask. Hopefully, this is the beginning of the end of this trend, as there is no surefire way to stop a trend among school age children than for adults to begin to use the slang\/do the trend unironically.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s Sunday, and you know what that means \u2014 it\u2019s time for our weekly social media roundup!
