BOSTON — The assumption was this would be something of a learning-curve week for Aaron Judge, a little work-study in right field at Fenway Park where the fence resembles the old hockey boards at Boston Garden. Baseballs bounce and ricochet this way and that at the Fens, where the angles and curves have inspired more than one visiting veteran through the years to volunteer for the bench or the DH.
“I’m going to need to get used to that,” Judge had said Tuesday, a few minutes after that game was postponed, a few minutes before he’d walk out there in the rain and have a quick gander at his new quarry.
