BOSTON — Aaron Judge tackling Fenway Park’s Green Monster was a popular topic in the Yankees’ clubhouse Tuesday afternoon, but where Judge plays in the field could have more of an impact on the games Wednesday and Thursday than how far Judge clears the world’s largest handball court.
Fenway’s right field is tricky because the foul pole is 302 feet away from the plate and quickly fans out to 380. Many a right fielder has tried to cut a ball off near the pole only to see it get by him and hug the wall for an extra-base hit.
