Aaron Judge and Team USA will conclude the World Baseball Classic with one game on Tuesday night.

It's the championship of the WBC against Venezuela, and the U.S.

captain Judge surely has his eyes on a title in this tournament for the first time since 2017.

About those eyes, though — fans are a bit confused on Tuesday.

To promote the game, Fox Sports created a graphic with Judge on it, and the picture includes blue eyes for Judge:
The epic conclusion.

This is a spin-off of new movie posters for Dune.

Dune 3 is on its way, and the promotional full-court press for that movie has really just begun in earnest.

This is what those posters look like:

Since Tuesday night's WBC final is being marketed as a similarly epic conclusion, Judge was given the same treatment.

As long as those eyes find pitches to hit a long way, Judge won't mind.
