Braves Manager Explains Pregame Moment With Aaron Judge

The Atlanta Braves and New York Yankees squared off in Spring Training action on Sunday. The most intriguing part of the day came before the game, though, as Braves manager Brian Snitker and Yankees star Aaron Judge had a friendly exchange that caught the attention of both fan bases.

Snitker discussed his moment with Judge after the contest.

Any of the Braves faithful hoping Snitker was doing a little bit of recruiting will be disappointed. The manager introduced himself to the 2022 AL MVP simply because he admires Judge's character.

"I just admire the hell out of that kid. He plays the game the right way, he presents himself the right way. He’s everything good in what we’re doing here."

Snitker's explanation just shows his class and utmost love for the sport. It's amazing any time you see two huge baseball figures come together and show appreciation for each other.

Perhaps these two will get to meet again with much higher stakes come this October.
