Yankees' Aaron Judge excited for first Father's Day game after getting ‘biggest title' of his life
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free BOSTON — Aaron Judge holds many titles these days: Captain. MVP. Best hitter in baseball. The one he is most proud of? Nora's dad. Judge's daughter, nearly 5 months old, will be in the stands Sunday at Fenway Park to see her dad play on his first Father's Day. By this point in the season, she is already a regular at Yankees games with Judge's wife Sam, but this one will have a little extra meaning — even if she doesn't know it yet. 4 Aaron Judge is pictured during the Yankees' game April 25. Jason Szenes for the NY Post 'I just want to be just like my dad,' Judge said. 'I want to be able to teach my daughter important life lessons, always be there for her and show her the importance of hard work and little things like that. It's probably the biggest title I got, getting a chance to be my daughter's dad; that's special. 'She's been to a lot of games,' he added. 'She loves it. She's usually sleeping for half of them, but she loves it.' There have been plenty of theories as to why or how Judge is in the midst of one of the best two-and-a-half-month starts to a season in the history of the game. 4 Aaron Judge posted a rare photo of his infant daughter in May 2025 to commemorate Mother's Day. Aaron Judge/Instagram Perhaps the easiest explanation? Dad strength. Judge entered Saturday batting .390 with a 1.265 OPS and 26 home runs through 68 games. Nora may have a hand in that. There is more of a balancing act between time at and away from the field this season, but Judge has found it easier not to carry the game back home with him. Not that there have been many rough days to his season so far, but when there are, they go away quicker. 'It makes everything a little easier — not easier, but I go 4-for-4 or 0-for-4 and she's still looking at me with the same smile, no matter what happens,' Judge said. 'That just helps me turn the page a little quicker to get to the next day, to the next moment, because I want to enjoy every moment I have with her and share those special moments. So I don't want to drag what I'm doing at work home when I see her. That definitely helps me turn the page a little better.' Judge said his daughter is already on the baseball schedule, so she is up with him late at night when he gets home from games. 4 Aaron Judge and his wife, Samantha, are pictured after the Yankees defeated the Guardians in October 2024. Getty Images She sleeps in during mornings with them, too, and then he plays with her before he heads to Yankee Stadium. There are fewer dinners out on the town and less video games to be played in whatever free time Judge has left. 4 Aaron Judge congratulates his wife, Samantha, after the New York City Marathon in November 2023. Getty Images And road trips have become tougher when his wife and daughter do not come with him. 'I'm not sleeping that well on the road,' Judge said. 'I'm so used to having them right there and knowing that they're safe and with me. So some of the road trips when they're not going, I'm up all night tossing and turning, thinking they're next to me.' CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS Still, they are not far from his mind even when he is at the ballpark. Judge used to make fun of his teammates who had babies because 'all they wanted to do was share photos of their kids.' Now, he has become that guy.

'I turned into that person that I couldn't stand,' he added with a laugh. Judge has plenty of company. The Yankees have their fair share of dads in the clubhouse these days, including fellow new ones like Trent Grisham, Devin Williams and Tim Hill, who are also experiencing all the firsts and unknowns of fatherhood. 'We can chat over different things, like I talked with Grish and he asked me a question about, 'Hey, what's the secret to help them sleep through the night? You got anything for me?' ' Judge said. 'Little things like that. So it's pretty cool we get to share those moments.'

Gen Z Graduate's Elle Woods-Style Job Application Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Landing a full-time job in Formula 1 is no easy feat. That coupled with narrowly missing the application deadline for your dream role makes working in the sport virtually impossible—but one F1 fan desperate to work for current front runners McLaren decided to take matters into her own hands. Louisa Weldy, 23, never expected a social media video to bring those all-important McLaren contacts to her—but when the job posting vanished before she could hit submit, she posted it anyway. The Cornell University graduate, based in New York City, had been eyeing a social media role with the McLaren Formula 1 Team when she discovered the application allowed for a short introductory video. Weldy told Newsweek: "McLaren's process lets you submit a 60-second video as part of the application, and I thought—what better way to showcase what I can do?" Louisa Weldy stands and looks into a camera lens for a headshot. Louisa Weldy stands and looks into a camera lens for a headshot. In a pragmatic move, Weldy leaned into the opportunity, producing a fast-paced, tongue-in-cheek pitch that fused personality with polish. Posted on May 28 to her Instagram account, @louweldy, the video has since been viewed more than 60,000 times and has sparked waves of support, admiration—and even job leads. "I can cut a reel faster than a McLaren pit stop," she said in the clip, dressed in the team's signature papaya orange. The clip serves as a rapid-fire tour of her qualifications, passion for motorsport, and creative acumen. Through sharp editing and upbeat scripting, she channels the spirit of Legally Blonde heroine Elle Woods—complete with puns, references to driver Lando Norris' past wins, and a confident callout: "Hi McLaren, I'm Louisa and I'm a Cornell graduate with a passion for luxury brands, and a sharp eye for content creation." At a time when Gen Z are increasingly reimagining the rules of job hunting, Weldy's viral reel underscores how creativity and authenticity can cut through corporate silence.

"I graduated from Cornell in 2023 and started working at a big beauty company in October," she said. "I was leading global campaigns—big ones like holiday and Mother's Day. But in January, they did layoffs and I was cut, even though I was on track for a promotion." What followed were two difficult months of networking and searching—unsuccessfully—for a new role in the luxury or motorsport space. "There was no traction, no luck," she added. "So I picked up part-time work babysitting and working at a boutique tennis shop to pay the bills." With no full-time offers in sight, Weldy leaned into her creative side—acting in five short films, preparing for an off-Broadway role this September, and creating videos for TikTok just for fun. The McLaren job was different. It was, she said, a dream opportunity, although based in Woking, England. When a friend forwarded her the listing, she began planning her application video immediately. But before she could officially apply, the posting disappeared. "I was crushed," Weldy said. "But I figured I'd post it to social media anyway. It was still a piece of work I was proud of—and I hoped it might reach the right people." It did. Within days, the reel racked up tens of thousands of views and comments came in ranging from admiration to action. "People were tagging friends at McLaren, resharing it, rooting for me," Weldy said. "It felt so validating—especially after five months of silence and rejection. "I had reminded myself to keep my expectations really low, but it felt really validating seeing hundreds of strangers rooting for me." She also heard from brands reaching out directly, intrigued by her on-camera charisma and production skills. "When you've got a degree from a top school and real experience with one of the world's largest cosmetic companies, and you get no traction for any jobs for months—it can make you question your value," she said. "But this reminded me I do have something to offer." Amid the froth and bubble of her viral fame, Weldy quietly received an update from McLaren confirming they would not be moving forward with her application. "I wasn't upset," she said. "Honestly, just hearing back from them felt really good. "I've applied to so many places and been ghosted more times than I can count, so being acknowledged feels nice." More than anything, Weldy hopes her experience reminds others to embrace creativity, even in the face of professional uncertainty. "Going viral is a weird feeling," she said. "But at the end of the day, I'm just trying to stay true to what I love—motorsports, storytelling, and sharing my voice." As for what comes next, she is keeping her expectations low and her momentum high. With a growing social media presence, an off-Broadway debut on the horizon, and renewed confidence in her personal brand, Weldy is steering her own course—no pit stop required.

Doctor Odyssey: 5 Ways to Save This Sinking Ship in a Potential Season 2
The odds aren't looking good for a Doctor Odyssey renewal, but we're here to throw Ryan Murphy's seafaring soap a life preserver. The ABC sudser wrapped its freshman run back in May, and has yet to be renewed by the network for a Season 2 — and we worry it won't be given the luxury of a second chance. To start, Season 1 averaged only 4.8 million weekly viewers (with delayed playback). And, out of the six dramas that ABC aired this TV season, Doctor Odyssey outdrew only Grey's Anatomy in total viewers. Secondly, Season 1 ended with an episode that felt a whole lot like a series finale. (Read our recap.) It would make perfect sense for the series to be cancelled, or simply be lost at sea forever without any official word on its status. More from TVLine Rob Lowe Wants to Bring Lone Star's Owen Strand to 9-1-1: Nashville: 'I'm Just Waiting for My Phone to Ring' Soaps Shocker: Erika Slezak Joins General Hospital! Here's What We Know So Far Roseanne Barr Claims The Conners Wanted Her Back - Here's What the EPs Told Us About a Possible Cameo Despite all signs indicating that this ship is sinking, I'm not giving up hope on this glitzy guilty pleasure. That being said, I do have some constructive feedback. Below, I'm breaking down five ways to steer the Odyssey in the right direction so that the series can cruise through a successful sophomore run. I simply will not — no, cannot — let the Fever Dream Theory die. And it's not only because I strive to be 100% correct on all things at all times. I truly do believe that the series needs some depth, and the Fever Dream Theory would be the perfect antidote. Yes, it's fun to watch a frothy little show about hot doctors rescuing people at sea, but, surprisingly enough, even hot people can get stale. What's keeping us invested in our crew? In our passengers? In the ship herself? We need a stronger foundation — something bigger than Avery's non-pregnancy pregnancy — to keep us watching and keep us wondering what might happen next. The show needs to confirm our theory, so we can continue to debate the intricacies and easter eggs that arise in life-and-death limbo. By confirming at least some aspect of our theory is real, the show has plenty of opportunity to play with the specifics: Is this ship purgatory proper? Or is it heaven? Is it hell? Are we dead, alive or barely breathing?! The possibilities are as vast as the ocean on which the Odyssey cruises. The demise of 9-1-1′s Bobby Nash (played by Peter Krause) was one of the most shocking TV deaths of the year! But if Doctor Odyssey would just commit to the Fever Dream Theory, the character doesn't have to be gone forever. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Bring Bobby on board! The man may have exited the Earthly realm, but his soul might still be searching for his final resting place. With Bobby on board, the ship can welcome him into their crew, creating more opportunities for dynamic conflict, romance and friendship! Plus, Krause's star power and top-notch acting could do wonders in keeping this thing afloat. And I wouldn't stop there. The group dynamic needs to be more complex; we can't keep beating the throuple horse. Why not bring on Adrianne Palicki as a series regular? (She was, after all, one of the best Season 1 guest stars!) During her short time on board, Palicki's Brooke forged independent relationships with both Avery and Max. Should she come on full-time, her friendship with Avery could offer some much-needed emotional high points, while her flirtatious dynamic with Max could raise the stakes among this romantically woeful group. The series could even bring on some of the other supporting characters as series regulars: Heather (Shania Twain) and Lenore (Gina Gershon) are just a couple of possibilities. If I have to hear Miss Avery (Phillipa Soo) announce she wants to go to med school one more time, I'll throw myself overboard. Beyond her desire to become a doctor, what do we know about this woman? What are her imperfections? Her unique neuroses? What does she like about Tristan and Max? What is she looking for in a romantic partner? Avery's entire Season 1 personality revolved around her male counterparts' perception of her, and her pregnancy. (A pregnancy that, by the way, ended up being a false alarm.) Avery repeatedly demanded time and space to think over her future, but her actual feelings or opinions about a possible pregnancy, a possible relationship and or her possible career remained a mystery. Let's give this girl the opportunity to go a little deeper so that we can identify with her a little more. The series started on such a strong note: Iodine poisoning from shrimp? Silly! A fractured penis? Outrageous! Give us more of that! The sea-mergencies lost their luster the longer Season 1 went on. Incorporating more chaos on board could go one of two ways: The Doctor Odyssey creative team could set out to tell the absolute strangest medical mysteries that have ever actually existed, or they could completely make up emergencies that probably would never actually happen but would make for thrilling TV. I'm talking innie belly buttons so deep that they leak all over the pool deck, or passengers getting dragged behind the ship after tripping over a rope. (And they survive!) Let's consult Saturday Night Live's Sarah Sherman to up the ick factor so we can get this ship rockin' and rollin' a la the Triangle of Sadness vomit scene. How Doctor Odyssey could air an entire season without tapping into the vocal talents of Broadway star Phillipa Soo is nothing short of criminal. Did you see her at the Tonys during Hamilton's 10th anniversary performance? The woman is an acclaimed vocalist! A star! How could that be ignored? For Doctor Odyssey — a show that strives to deliver a high-octane, campy, glitzy hour of television each week — a musical episode just makes sense. Even if Soo wasn't a part of the equation, I'd demand it. The fact that it might actually be good is just an added bonus.
