Yankees teams — and captains, like Aaron Judge — are judged on more than just American League championships.
CLEVELAND — Even as beer dripped down his back and he wiped champagne out of his eyes, Aaron Judge had not forgotten the motivating heartbreak that he experienced seven years ago.
Aaron Judge celebrates on the field after the Yankees’ 5-2 ALCS-clinching win over the Guardians in Game 5 on Oct. 19, 2024.After a 58-homer regular season, Judge has taken a backseat in the playoffs to Giancarlo Stanton, who hit four home runs en route to ALCS MVP, and Juan Soto, whose tiebreaking three-run 10th-inning home run all but clinched the Yankees’ first pennant since 2009.
He continues to strike out at a rate incongruent with his regular-season numbers and is one of the highest in postseason history. None of that was on his mind as he held the American League championship trophy that eluded the Yankees in past postseason failures.“I don’t know how to describe it. It’s just so special,” Judge said. “You just look back at all the hard work and guys showing up in after a disappointing season last season. That’s the first thing I thought of. That’s what I go back to.”
