Yankees: Aaron Judge has ‘No Regrets’ about ‘New York, New York’

After defeating the Boston Red Sox in game 2 of the ALDS, New York Yankees OF Aaron Judge was caught blasting Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” deep in the bowels of Fenway Park. The Yankees would never win a game again in 2018.

On Friday, Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees finally responded to critics blasting him for his actions after game 2 of the ALDS. “No regrets,” Judge told the New York Post in regards to playing Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” after a game 2 ALDS victory in Fenway Park.

Here’s how it all went down

After losing game 1 of the 2018 ALDS to the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park, the Yankees entered game 2 with an edge. Facing off against David Price, who wouldn’t finish the 2nd inning, the Yanks would win the game handily by the score of 6-2.

Aaron Judge, who went 2-4 with a home run in game 2 was later caught leaving Fenway Park blasting the anthem typically heard on the loudspeakers in Yankee Stadium after every home game.

Returning to the Bronx for games 3 and 4, the Yankees would be outscored 20-4. Judge, who was criticized for his apparent hubris, would go 1-7, scoring just one of those runs.

The Red Sox would go on to win their fourth world title since 2004, the most of any franchise in that time.

“That’s the funny thing,” Judge told the Post after the Yankees defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates in a spring training exhibition,

"“On getaway days, I play music if we win, every single time. But most of the time, nobody hears it, because there’s usually tunnels that we’re going through to the bus. The only way to get out of Fenway is through the concourse. That’s the only place to play it.”"

At the time of the incident, members of the Red Sox insisted that they weren’t bothered by the music. “I found Aaron Judge annoying last night,” Red Sox president and CEO Sam Kennedy told Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston, “but not because of his musical selections walking out of Fenway.”

Tell that to Alex Cora, who at the victory parade later that October told the Yankees to “suck on it”.

It’ll be interesting to see if the greatest rivalry in sports intensifies this season.
