In a hilarious stand-up comedy bit, Jim Breuer compared the plights of New York Yankees and Mets fans, and managed to get in a few Judge jokes along the way.

Ask any coach or manager to name two characteristics a team needs to win a championship. Among the top responses will mostly often be: depth and experience. Those attributes help front offices win championships, as well. On Tuesday, the New York Yankees got a little deeper in the front office with an old friend with a ton of good experience and happens to sport a few recent World Series rings.

Sports records are made to be broken, but in these cases, New York athletes have set records that are so impressive, they won't be broken anytime soon.

Could you imagine 30 year-old Babe Ruth hitting the free agent market in 2022? Would the "Sultan of Swat" been the first $500 million player? Would Brian Cashman be forced to break the bank for a player that most would consider the most popular baseball player over the last century? How does current New York Yankee, Aaron Judge compare to "The Bambino"?

It's no secret, New York Yankees senior VP and general manager, Brian Cashman is pressing to get his organization back to the World Series. Cashman has a brand new four-year contract, so he isn't worried about his personal job security. However, the Long Island native is considered one of the best executives in MLB and a 13-year late October draught probably doesn't sit well.

It's official: Aaron Judge has been named the 16th captain in NY Yankees' history, and joins an elite group of players who were cornerstones of the franchise.

Before signing Aaron Judge to his new deal, New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner met Pope Francis, leaving fans wondering if Judge's return was a divine act.

It is an age-old story in New York. When the iconic Yankees are good, they rule the region. In fact, it was 65 years years ago that the Bronx Bombers' National League neighbors, the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers abandoned their fanbases and moved across the country. Many believed the move was primarily done to get away from the powerful lure of the team in pinstripes. Many decades later and billions of dollars ready to spend, Mets owner Steve Cohen is at least trying to put up a fight for his Queens franchise.

The New York Yankees got their man in left-handed pitcher Carlos Rodon, but additional moves must be considered if the team wants to compete for a World Series.

In pro sports, athletes come-and-go every time they need a new contract, but when these New York athletes put on a different jersey, it just didn't look right.

The New York Yankees accomplished their top priority of the 2022 MLB Winter Meetings. They brought Aaron Judge home, making him the highest paid position player in the game, for now. That celebration didn't last very long, as general manager Brian Cashman left San Diego with a roster still marred with question marks.

2022 was anything but ordinary for New York's sports teams, and these ten stories left fans shocked, amazing, and even a bit disappointed during the year.
