WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — Aaron Judge sure got the rock-star treatment from hundreds of Little Leaguers who went wild for the New York Yankees slugger — holding out baseballs for autographs, pleading for selfies, even asking him about the size of his muscles — from the moment he stepped off the plane to his last at-bat.
“They're making me feel like The Beatles out there,” Judge said.
Judge even wore a Little League hat to his press conference, proud of the deal he swung with some kids to obtain the cap and collectible pins for Yankees swag.
He would have traded a little more for a win.
