Aaron Judge was back in pinstripes on Sunday.
The new Yankees captain, and the recipient of a nine-year, $360 million contract, made his spring debut in front of an adoring crowd at Steinbrenner Field and recorded a single and a walk across four innings of a 7-0 win over the Braves.
There were also audible “oohs” every time Judge took a healthy hack and swung through a pitch, as if the crowd was just expecting him to hit another home run on every swing. Aaron Judge waits for a pitch during the Yankees’ spring training game against the Braves on Feb. 26.“He was like, ‘Oh yeah,’ ” the manager said. “I think it’s always exciting. He loves the game and obviously being back here. To be able to put the [uniform] on and go out, I think it’s something he was looking forward to.”— the pitch clock, restricted shifts and bigger bases — and said he was a fan.
