Mark Teixeira rips Aaron Judge’s trolling: ‘Woke a sleeping giant’

Ironically, the Yankees’ victory song has become the story of a heartbreaking playoff loss.

Former longtime Yankee Mark Teixeira threw heavy criticism on Aaron Judge’s decision to do some light Red Sox trolling before the ALDS was sealed, saying the star outfielder made “a big mistake” in blasting “New York, New York” at Fenway Park after the Yankees’ Game 2 victory.

That turned out to be the only Yankees series triumph, as Boston eliminated them in Tuesday’s Game 4, and what had been a smirk of a troll job by Judge apparently became a Red Sox rallying point.
