Aaron Judge on Jose Altuve-like jersey tug: ‘Pretty chilly’ park
NY Post
Aaron Judge returned to Houston with a bang — and created plenty of buzz with his trip around the bases after hitting a home run.
The Yankees outfielder took Zack Greinke deep for a solo homer in the third inning — the decisive strike in the Yankees’ 1-0 win over the Astros thanks to Gerrit Cole’s complete-game gem — and as he approached third base, Judge tugged at the front of his jersey. He appeared to be mocking Jose Altuve, who famously grabbed his jersey and shook his finger to tell his teammates not to rip it off after hitting a walk-off homer in Game 6 of the 2019 ALCS against the Yankees. At the time, many believed Altuve was wearing a buzzer to help signal what pitch was coming. A subsequent MLB investigation showed no evidence there was a buzzer, but that hardly quieted the speculation — though it may have been a bit more believable than Judge’s explanation for his jersey pull Saturday night.
