NEW YORK — Aaron Judge did his best to bring his offseason alter ego to life on Thursday, setting fire to the Giants with his first swing of the 2023 season.
Judge, aka “Arson” after an erroneous report sent him to San Francisco over the winter, took Giants pitcher Logan Webb deep in his first at-bat on opening day in the Yankees’ 5-0 win.
The first-inning solo shot, a 422-foot drive into Monument Park, started the scoring for the Yankees as Judge picked up where he left off after clubbing a team and American League-record 62 dingers a season ago.
