Yankees star Aaron Judge has made his modeling debut by posing for Ralph Lauren’s new fragrance campaign ahead of the start of the 2024 MLB season later this month.
The 31-year-old record holder for most home runs in a single season (62) in AL history shared his joy at being the poster boy for “Polo Est.” 67′ eau de toilette on Thursday, highlighting his admiration for the brand growing up.
Judge said, “Ralph Lauren is all about the American dream. As a brand I’ve always admired and dreamed of working with, it was an honor to collaborate with them – no less, on a fragrance campaign that aims to design your dreams with determination and perseverance.
“That’s a message that really resonates with me in my baseball career and in my life.”
The new $108 fragrance embodies a warm vibration with a unique blend of fresh and fruity notes of citrus, vetiver and sun-kissed bergamot combined with a sweet pineapple accord.

“In the world of sports as in the world of fragrance, it’s passion that sets things apart,” said Ralph Lauren, Executive Chairman and Chief Creative Officer, adding that “Aaron Judge’s genuine love for baseball epitomizes what I believe in most: a commitment to excellence and the art of doing what you love.”
The brand’s sporty new fragrance will go on sale in the aisles of major stores and retailers on Thursday. It will also be available for purchase on Ralph Lauren’s website.
Judge – a five-time MLB All-Star – could be back in the Yankees’ lineup on Saturday after being ruled out of spring training games this week due to abdominal complaints.

The outfielder has not had batting practice on the field or batted in a game since Sunday. He had an MRI on Monday.
New York manager Aaron Boone plans to play Judge in midfield against Toronto on Saturday. Judge is more focused on the March 28 opener against the Astros in Houston.
“We’re not in a hurry,” the judge said Thursday. ‘I will definitely be there now during the season, but our target is March 28.’
Boone said batting practice on Friday is a possibility for Judge. The Yankees will play in a preseason game against the Pittsburgh Pirates that day.
