In 2017, a 25-year-old Aaron Judge competed in his rookie season with the New York Yankees. Since winning the American League Rookie of the Year, Judge became one of the most pivotal players on one of the most iconic teams in the MLB.

This season, Yankees fans pinned their hopes on Judge to make the playoffs. Although he made a crucial play in the final game of the regular season against the Tampa Bay Rays to secure that spot, the Yankees couldn’t get past the Boston Red Sox in yesterday’s AL Wildcard game.

Amidst fans finding out what went wrong, some of them brought up an uncanny circumstance involving Judge bringing his speaker to Fenway Park.

Fans draw connection between Judge’s speaker and form in postseason

In 2018, Judge played the Red Sox in the postseason for the first time in the ALDS. While the Red Sox won the first game in Fenway Park, the Yankees won the second one to tie the series. Following this victory, Judge blared some music from his speaker in Fenway Park. However, the Yankees’ postseason record against the Red Sox would take a dramatic turn from this point on.

In Game 3, the Red Sox went off in Yankee Stadium, routing their fierce rivals with the scoreline an astonishing 16-1. They then clinched the series in the next game with a narrow 4-3 victory. While they wouldn’t meet in the playoffs for two years, history repeated itself in the wildcard game yesterday.
