“PAW Patrol” is currently one of the top choices for children when it comes to entertainment.
It is a Canadian animated TV series centering around a young boy named Ryder who is in charge of a crew of search and rescue dogs named the PAW Patrol.
The series already has 10 seasons and it has been a major success.
What does this have to do with baseball, you might ask?
Well, one of MLB’s biggest stars will appear in a spin-off episode of the popular show.
It will New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge.
“Aaron Judge will appear in a PAW Patrol spin-off episode of Rubble & Crew this summer. In the episode, titled ‘The Crew Builds a Ballpark,’ Judge isn’t able to attend a home run derby, so Rubble and friends help him build a ballpark to host the derby in Builder Cove,” MLB tweeted.

Judge has been a lot of things for the Yankees.
He has been a captain, a role model, and a friend, not to mention their best player and 2022 AL MVP.
Now, he will have his place on one of the most popular children shows of the moment.
His power will obviously be highlighted, as he will help the Patrol build a stadium to show off his ability to hit home runs.
From a marketing perspective, it’s a wonderful idea and an exciting link-up between the most popular children’s show of the moment and one of the most popular organizations in MLB.
Kids will surely love this particular episode, and without knowing, baseball and MLB will gain some more fans.
