However, back in 2020, when Judge carried the Pinstripes home with a match-winning homer, ex-Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez, who was calling the game in the box, made a bold comparison of the 6’7 slugger with other greats of the game.

In a game that witnessed a trailer of what Judge was going to showcase in 2022 against long-time rivals – Boston Red Sox, the future Yankees captain smashed his second homer to carry the Yanks home.
