Yesterday afternoon was the last game of a three-game series between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Angels. This put an end to the duel between Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge, a highly anticipated and highly publicized duel.
On this occasion, the Bronx Bombardiers started the game on a high note, scoring five points in the first set and heading for a 9-3 victory.
It was the tenth victory in as many occasions in a game that could make them lose a series in 2023. Moreover, the Yankees are the only team that has still not lost a series this season.
What catches the eye, however, are the words of the Judge in the middle of the series against the Angels, who said he did not believe he was the best player in MLB.
Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani are above me. Ohtani throws and punches, and Trout wins an MVP title every two years. I have work to do.
We immediately see the great class and humility of the captain of the Yankees. Despite winning MVP last year after hitting 62 long balls, an American League record, Judge knows how to recognize the talent of his opponents.
