Judge and the Yankees is correct.

The Royals is also correct, but it's not Bobby Witt.

Introduction via Yankees and Royals in the playoffs in 1976. Pure coincidence on the answers.

"You know, somebody has got to step up, and when you're the alpha male on the team it's got to be you," Belt said. "I put the 'C' on my chest and I went to work, and thankfully it worked out."




To Belt's credit, the Captain title stuck, and his teammates have, well ... embraced it for their flight to Denver.

"Baby Giraffe" is a nickname for San Francisco Giants player Brandon Belt. The nickname was coined by broadcaster Duane Kuiper. Belt has been known by this nickname since his rookie year in 2011, when Kuiper described his first outfield play as looking like "he just fell out of the mama giraffe".
