Jimmy Fallon Works Aaron Judge Into A Political Burn For World Series

The "Tonight Show" host took a swing at a political figure and used the Yankees slugger to do it.

Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon celebrated Fridays start of the World Series with a bit about special baseball cards issued for the occasion. (Watch the video below.)

Only this imagined set lists some unusual stats for players from the teams involved. For instance, the card for Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith notes a few typical numbers like hits and runs but also: LA restaurants disappointed when he shows up for the Will Smith reservation: 204.

The card for mustachioed New York Yankees catcher Austin Wells included the naughty factoid: Number of pizzas of delivered in a porno: 14.

But the host saved the best for last when he showed the card for Yankees superstar Aaron Judge . It, of course, displayed the number of his league-leading home runs: 58.

But Judge had an even more eye-popping stat on the card, according to Fallon: Number of New Yorkers who want him to be our new mayor: Everyone.

While much of Judges work experience is walloping a baseball, at least he doesnt face charges of bribery, fraud  and soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations like New York Citys current mayor, Eric Adams .
