NEW YORK — The ball left her stick at 116 mph, the highest exit speed ever measured in the baseball playoffs – and, perhaps by the way, she headed north. He did not have enough enough juice to get to Boston.
Aaron Judge will be here soon.
Well, it's going to be a lot of fun.
The judge won the Yankees in the Wild Card AL for the second consecutive season, launching this two-run homer in the first inning to provoke the Yankees in a Wildland 7-2 loss to Oakland A.
This game was not over after the judge snatched a meatball from A, Liam Hendriks' "starter" at the left seat. It was just like that. He added a double and a point scored in the sixth, which raised the score to 3-0, and the A officially cried "uncle" some drummers later.

Now comes the fun part. Now comes the Yankees' and Red Sox's first post-season fixture since 2004, when Judge was still a little Leaguer. It is fundamentally impossible to hate Judge, one of the charismatic faces of all sport, but his mission now is to make all of New England do this.
He will be at the center of everything that happens. This is certain. After two months and eight days without a home run, stuck in DL with a wrist injury that took much longer than expected, Judge reminded Yankee fans what kind of impact he could have with one shot of bat.
Remember, the judge was happy with the game of wild cards last year to help the Yankees beat the Twins. Then he set a record with 16 strikeouts in the ALDS against the Indians. His first post-season was a mix, to say the least.

Crazy things tend to happen when these two teams meet in the playoffs – for that, of course, the judge can ask his manager. Aaron Boone scored one of the biggest home runs in the history of baseball in the seventh game of the ALCS of 2003. A year later, the Red Sox have cleared a lead of 3 -0 to make their own amazing story.
It's been too long since they did not clash in October and, to be clear, it's more than just judging against Boston. Still: He'll dig in the marble at Fenway's house in 48 hours, watching the green monster and all the history that goes with it.
"We want Boston!" the crowd sang again and again. "We want Boston!"
The bring on.
Here are five observations of the Yankees' victory over the Oakland A's in the AL Wild Card:
