As the clock moved minutes from the first pitch of Sunday’s game at Dodger Stadium, Aaron Judge peered out of the visiting dugout and scanned the decks of the 57-year-old ballpark, already pulsating with the energy of a sellout crowd on hand to witness an event masquerading as a ballgame.
The entire weekend at Chavez Ravine felt like a big deal, an opportunity for the clubs owning the best records in the Majors to appreciate a shared history, their current success and just maybe—as Judge agreed after the Yankees’ 5-1 victory over the Dodgers—a future that could see them face off again in autumn.
