With a sidelong glance into his own team’s dugout before he hit a homer in Toronto earlier this month, Aaron Judge got the cheating in baseball ball rolling once again, and a couple more pitchers this year coming up sticky when umpire’s have checked their hands, and it ends up the talk of the game again.
Max Scherzer swears it’s just sweat and rosin, darn it. Kind of really believe him in that case, actually ... No really, we do.
As for Judge?
“Judge said his sneak peek was in response to ‘a lot of chirping from our dugout’ while he was in the batter’s box,” as USA Today’s Steve Gardner and Jordan Mendoza reported.
