It is a small sample size, of course, and Aaron Judge can change his postseason narrative at any at-bat for the Yankees.

Aaron Judge is the only man wearing the pinstripe suit with a chance to break into the Pantheon of Yankees that features Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig and Yogi Berra.

There are no moments that equate to Jeter’s Mr. November 10th-inning game-winning home run off Byung Hyun Kim in Game 4 of the 2001 Series against Arizona. Overall, Judge is slashing .206/.307/.451 with a .758 OPS and 13 home runs and 25 RBI in 45 games over seven postseason series. In 18 games this decade, the stats resemble an optical illusion, the preeminent hitter in the game slashing .135/.207/.338 with a .545 OPS, five homers and eight RBI while striking out 28 times in 82 plate appearance.Saturday night’s 6-5, Division Series Game 1 victory
