Now, he will star in an upcoming episode of “Rubble & Crew”, a spin-off of the popular preschool series “PAW Patrol,” according to the MLB.
Judge will voice himself in the animated series, which is set to air on Nickelodeon.
“As a proud dog dad, it was a blast to join Rubble and his friends in this adventure,” Judge said. “Through my foundation work, I understand the importance of reaching kids and teaching them the importance of teamwork. It was so fun to combine two things I’m passionate about — dogs and baseball — to deliver this valuable message.”
In the episode titled, “The Crew Builds a Ballpark”, Judge can’t leave town for the home run derby and receives help from Rubble & Crew to build a ballpark to hold the derby right in Builder Cove.
In a pre-game warm up last spring, Judge brought his dog, Gus, to Yankee Stadium and ran around with him in the outfield.
His passion for baseball and dogs are merging together and has led to a new opportunity. In two days, Judge and the rest of his teammates will make their 2024 debut against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas.
