Aaron Judge crushed a 436ft home run off Boston Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins after the pitcher aimed a jab at the Yankees in the run-up to Sunday’s game.

Dobbins, a lifelong Red Sox fan, was asked about his team’s bitter rivals in the run-up to his start for Sunday’s game. “If the Yankees were the last team to give me a contract, I’d retire,” he told the Boston Herald. He added that his feelings towards the Yankees were not just down to playing for the Red Sox though. “I think whoever I was playing with or whoever I would have been drafted by, I’d still hate the Yankees,” he added.
