HISTORICAL FACTS: Aaron judge credits yankees ghosts for helping on his game changing home run - The Untold Story

The Yankee Stadium ghosts were out and about on a night when the Yankees pulled off a thrilling, come-from-behind 9-6 victory over the Blue Jays in Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Tuesday. Powered by an electrifying, three-run home run off the bat of Aaron Judge, the Yankees erased a five-run deficit to keep their season alive.

Judge's homer was improbable for a couple reasons, primarily because it came on a 99.7-mph pitch that was 1.2 feet inside, an offering that the hulking slugger turned on and sent down the left-field line near the foul pole. That's where the other improbability came into play. On a breezy night at the Stadium, Judge's towering homer somehow stayed fair and hit the foul pole for a round-tripper.
