Aaron Judge is MLB's top jersey seller for 2018
Aaron Judge has the top-selling jersey in baseball this season, three Chicago Cubs stars aren’t far behind and the rest of the top 20 includes a number of MLB’s young stars.
That’s what we learned from the list of best-selling jerseys of 2018 that Major League Baseball released Friday. Here’s the how the list shakes out:
1. Aaron Judge, New York Yankees
2. Jose Altuve, Houston Astros
3. Javier Báez, Chicago Cubs
4. Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers
5. Mookie Betts, Boston Red Sox
