Yankees' Aaron Judge: 'Ghosts Were Pulling' HR vs. Guardians in 2024 MLB Playoffs

New York Yankees superstar outfielder Aaron Judge was able to breathe a sigh of relief Wednesday night after crushing his first home run of the 2024 playoffs in a 6-3 win over the Cleveland Guardians in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series.

With the Yanks leading 4-2 in the seventh inning, Judge took Guardians reliever Hunter Gaddis deep to center field for a two-run shot, and the likely AL MVP suggested to ESPN's Jeff Passan that he may have had some supernatural help in getting it out of the ballpark.

"You never know on these windy, chilly nights what that ball is going to do when you hit the center here," Judge said.
