Related Topics: Judge, Injury, Watch

Yankees fans didn't take the loss of Aaron Judge well Thursday night after he was hit by a pitch in the first inning of the Yankees 7–2 win over the Royals.

Judge sustained a chip fracture in his right wrist, and he will miss at least three weeks. As the Yankees face a pennant race, the team got unlucky with the injury.

So leave it New York fans to get creative — before they even knew the final diagnosis — and hold a "candlelight vigil" for Judge.

Several thousand in the sellout crowd switched on their cell phone lights in the seventh inning and shining them toward the field.
