Court Is In Session: Judge Tops MLB's Best-Selling Jersey List For '17 Season

Yankees RF Aaron Judge led MLB in jerseys sales for the '17 season, joining Cubs 3B Kris Bryant as just the second rookie to lead the rankings since they were first released in '10. The list is based on Majestic jersey sales at MLBShop.com since Opening Day. Bryant ranks second this year after topping the list in '15 and '16 (MLB). ESPN.com's Darren Rovell noted Judge is joined in the top 20 by Yankees C Gary Sanchez after the team last year "didn't have a single player in the season-ending top 20 list." The Yankees typically have always had players "near the top of the list," including Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter finishing second on the list during their final seasons in '13 and '14, respectively (ESPN.com, 10/3).
