This has got to be the cutest story ever! And Yankees fans are extremely happy about it!
Aaron Judge appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and said teammate Anthony Rizzo used his dog to get Aaron Judge to resign with the Yankees. He shared that Rizzo would call and text him constantly to get Aaron to resign with the Bronx Bombers, and he played a big part in Aaron returning. Aaron said, “he went for my heart … my little Penny and his dog Kevin are the best of friends.” He said that Rizzo sent him pictures of their dogs together and reminded him how close their dogs are and how sad Kevin would be if he never saw Penny again. Judge said, “that was a big part of why I stayed with the Yankees.”

The Most Shocking Snubs and Surprises of the 2023 Oscar Nominations
This year’s Oscar nominations had its share of surprses. First, Everything Everywhere All At Once swept the competition, with a whopping 11 nods. The film joins a few other films who also had 11 nods: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003), The Godfather (1972), Saving Private Ryan (1998) and Joker (2019), to name a few.
As far as music goes, 82 songs from this year’s movies have qualified to enter the competition, Variety reports. Up to three songs can be entered per film, but most studios choose to enter just one or sometimes two in order to maximize the chance of one of them making the shortlist. Curiously, five films entered three songs apiece: 18 1/2, Killing Me Softly With His Songs, Me Vasantrao, 1660 Vine and Tuzhyasathi Kahihi.
See below who we, and the internet, believe were snubbed or surprised to get nominated:
