Aaron Judge trying to avoid ‘fear’ as he returns to scene of his Dodger Stadium wall crash
NY Post
LOS ANGELES — Aaron Judge has played at Dodger Stadium since tearing a ligament in his toe crashing into the wall there two years ago.
But after playing center field in the World Series in October, he will return to the scene of the crime — right field — for the first time on Friday night.
“I’ll try not to think about it,” Judge said. “I got a job to do on the field. I’m going to try to make every play I can. I don’t remember looking at what changes they’ve made. Hopefully, it’s good changes, nobody else has gotten hurt out there.
“I try not to think about it because if you play with fear, you’re not going to be your best.”
Judge said he might go out to right field during batting practice Friday and check out the new padding that the Dodgers installed at the footing of the right-field wall in response to the Yankees captain’s injury.
It was unpadded on June 3, 2023, when he made a terrific running catch while crashing into the fence in front of the visiting bullpen in right field.
