Babe Ruth featured as a playable character in MLB The Show 18

On Monday afternoon, MLB The Show released the gameplay trailer for their highly anticipated video game. This year Aaron Judge is on the cover, so it's not hard to fathom he would be featured heavily in the trailer. Yep, in this year's trailer, you have Judge, Judge's famous cheering section 'Judge's Chambers', a sneak peek of Giancarlo Stanton in a Yankee uniform, and a Brett Gardner cameo. You also have steals, walk-off celebrations, antics during the seventh inning stretch, and more.
