NEW YORK — Aaron Judge’s star power has eclipsed his home run power.
Evidence of this was provided by the overreaction to the Bunyanesque outfielder’s eighth-inning, side-eye glances toward the Yankees dugout, followed by a 462-foot home run in Toronto Monday night.
If this was Anthony Volpe, there would be no rush to judgment. Or debate if he was “cheating” in some form or fashion — like stealing signs or picking up on a pitcher tipping pitches, which has always been part of the game. But it was Judge. The face of the Yankees. The face of baseball.
