Don’t panic about Judge just yet. He’s actually a part of some great Yankees company.
The Baby Bombers are the talk of Yankees Universe. Gary Sanchez has become pinstriped royalty in just a few months of major league service. Tyler Austin played the hero role over the weekend with a game winning home run to beat Tampa Bay and keep the Yankees’ winning streak alive, which ended at seven games, and leaving them in the thick of the playoff hunt.
On the other side of the coin is Aaron Judge, who introduced himself with a towering home run in his first career major league at-bat, followed by another long ball the next day.
