A couple weeks after the release of a Netflix documentary on the subject, Yankees fans tried to follow in the footsteps of Phillies fans and awaken their superstar with a standing ovation, this time on a much bigger stage.
It didn’t work.
Surefire AL MVP Aaron Judge, who has gone ice cold at the wrong time, was greeted with a standing ovation before his first at bat of Game 3 by Yankees fans witnessing their first World Series home game since their team closed out the Phillies in 2009. Judge entered the at bat 6-for-40 in the postseason, including 1-for-9 with six strikeouts in the Fall Classic.
