TORONTO — New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge doesn't appreciate being branded a potential cheater after he took a sideways peek before hitting a 462-foot home run in Toronto. «I've got some choice words about that, but I'm just going to keep that off the record,» Judge said before Tuesday night's game.
Across the diamond, Blue Jays manager John Schneider said his team spoke to Major League Baseball about the positioning of New York's base coaches. «There's boxes on the field for a reason,» Schneider said.
The commissioner's office said it was aware of Monday's situation and will be paying attention to it, Toronto's second-year manager said.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said his team also had been in touch with MLB. «Our understanding is that there will not be any kind of investigation because nothing that went on last night was against the rules,» Boone said.
