Relive Aaron Judge's historic rookie season in virtual reality

(Kathy Willens)

Aaron Judge's rookie season in 2017 was historic to say the least. He became the first rookie to win a Home Run Derby outright, he set a Statcast exit velocity record, he became the first Yankee to lead the league in home runs, walks and runs scored since Jason Giambi in 2005 and he was named American League Rookie of the Year.
