The Dodgers’ biggest nemesis with a bat in his hands is Aaron Judge. Yes, the most staggering numbers. Yes, in history. Yes, the same Judge who will bat third for the New York Yankees in the World Series that begins Friday in Chavez Ravine.
And, yes, Judge’s most prolific games against the Dodgers occurred recently, as in this season.
In the three-game series the teams played at Yankee Stadium in June, Judge was seven for 11 with three home runs. He hit another homer against the Dodgers in 2023, one in each of the three games in 2019 and one in two games in 2016.
