Ex-Yankees star Gary Sanchez wears Aaron Judge’s number as he shines for new team

Gary Sanchez had quite the weekend.

Now playing for the Yankees' AL East rival Baltimore Orioles, Sanchez returned from the Injured List on Saturday.

Rocking the No. 99 made famous by Aaron Judge, Sanchez homered in his return from the IL on Saturday.

And on Sunday, Sanchez launched a grand slam.

These were Sanchez's first two homers with the Orioles.

Soon enough, he may get the chance to face his former team. The Orioles come to Yankee Stadium for three games this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Sanchez needed these blasts in the worst way. Even after the big games, he's only hitting .162.

The former catcher doesn't get behind the plate a ton anymore. He's mostly a DH.

Now 32 years old, Sanchez has already had stops in Minnesota and Milwaukee before Baltimore. And maybe he's mostly over the hill, but for a couple games, he looked like the young Yankees version of Gary.
