The Derek Jeter comparisons sprung up early for Aaron Judge. Homegrown Yankee. All-Star. Respected teammate. Captain material.
But to become a true Bronx icon _ anywhere approaching Jeter's level _ is going to require some additional work this October, and many Octobers beyond that. Judge certainly understands the responsibilities that come with this gig.
Not that he's into being connected with the newly-minted Hall of Famer (and CEO of the suddenly amazing Marlins). I only bring up Jeter because Judge's reverence for the playoffs, and his hunger for success on that stage, immediately reminds you of the guy with the five World Series rings.
