NEW YORK -- The ball left his bat at 116 mph, the highest exit velocity ever measured in the baseball postseason -- and, perhaps fittingly, it was headed due north. It did not have quite enough juice to get to Boston.
Aaron Judge will be there soon enough.
And, well, that's going to be a lot of fun.
Judge carried the Yankees in the AL Wild Card for the second-straight season, launching that two-run home run in the first inning to spark the Yankees in a 7-2 AL Wild Card smackdown of the Oakland A's.
