Aaron Judge doesn’t question validity of Ted Williams seat after crushing home run

Aaron Judge added to the list of memorable deep home runs hit at Fenway Park in the Yankees’ 9-7 loss to the Red Sox on Friday.

The Yankees star slugger crushed Red Sox reliever Zack Kelly’s 92 mph cutter in the seventh inning, hitting a three-run homer that gave New York the lead. The ball went under the video screen in left center field, landing on the walkway behind the screen and camera perch.

Judge’s homer traveled 470 feet. While impressive, it was 32 feet short of the Fenway Park record, a 502-foot blast hit by Ted Williams in 1946 that’s marked by a red seat in the right field bleachers.
