NEW YORK -- The expectations for budding legends in the Bronx is as high as the façade at Yankee Stadium. To reach the heights of the Ruths, DiMaggios and Jeters, your story has to be more than a 30-for-30, it has to be a fairytale.
Aaron Judge, a 6-foot-7, 282-pound giant, built like a pass-rushing linebacker with a captain’s demeanor, not only hit the most home runs ever by a major league rookie with 52, but added to his story on Tuesday with two-run homer in the fourth inning that broke open the Yankees’ 8-4 wild-card victory.
