The New York Yankees are cemented firmly as the best Major League Baseball team in history with their 27 World Series Championships.
They continue to be a regular attendee of the postseason as they have only missed the playoffs 5 times since the year 2000.
With all of the great players in Yankees history, their current star player is giving them a run for their money to be the best of them all.
Aaron Judge is the leader of this Yankee club and the face of the organization.
According to the YES Network, Judge sent a clear message after defeating the Boston Red Sox on Sunday.

Judge was asked if he or the Yankees are doing any scoreboard watching of the Baltimore Orioles games who sit 3 games back of the Yankees in the American League East.
He responded by saying that the Yankees are not watching the scoreboard as they control their destiny if they just keep winning games.
Judge is having another MVP-type season where he has a .321 batting average with a league-leading 53 home runs, a career-best 132 runs batted in, and a 1.147 on-base plus slugging.
After battling the injury bug in 2023, Judge is back to putting up mind-blowing numbers in 2024 just as he did in 2022 when he won the American League Most Valuable Player award.
The Yankees will look to hold off the Orioles and win the American League East again after missing the playoffs in 2023.
Judge looks focused and ready to try and carry this Yankees team to a 2024 postseason run.
