NEW YORK — Aaron Boone thought for sure the Yankees were down a run right off the bat. Second batter of the game, Shohei Ohtani blasted a high drive to deep center off Jordan Montgomery.
“I turned and said, “That’s a homer,’” Boone said.
Not with Aaron Judge manning center field. It doesn’t matter if he’s played nothing but right field for two years straight, he’ll always tell you he’s a center fielder. That’s where he played at Fresno State and there’s where he’d love to play every game.
