Oct 18, 2024; Cleveland, Ohio, USA; New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge celebrates scoring on a three run home run by designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton in the sixth inning against the Cleveland Guardians during game four of the ALCS for the 2024 MLB playoffs at Progressive Field.

By no means was Judge the fixture or superstar of the Yankees’ run to the World Series during the postseason. He hit .154 in the ALDS against Kansas City and .167 in the ALCS against Cleveland — though a dramatic, game-tying two-run home run in the top of the eighth in Game 3 against star closer Emmanuel Clase indicated something could indeed be brewing.
But for as good as Judge’s support has been, this World Series shall zoom squarely on him and the man clad in blue and white who hails from across the world, represents a team from across the country, and is the looming talisman of a Dodgers club that will be inhabiting the dugout across the diamond beginning this Friday in Los Angeles in Game 1.
