MLB Makes Strong Aaron Judge Statement on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox prepare for Sunday night’s series finale at Yankee Stadium, with first pitch set for 7:10 p.m. ET on ESPN, Major League Baseball made a pointed move of its own on Sunday morning.

Aaron Judge is chasing a rare milestone. He is aiming for a .400 batting average. No New York Yankee has ever achieved this. Not even Babe Ruth. Ted Williams last did it in 1941. Judge's performance is generating excitement.

“You have to remember a lot of the fans here are tourists,” said Carlos Rodon. “Coming to Yankee Stadium is part of sightseeing. This might be the first and only time they come to New York, so you want to make the event as exciting as possible. I’m sure they don’t mind how loud it is.”
