Aaron Judge Calls World Baseball Classic Crowds 'Bigger and Better' Than the World Series

The World Baseball Classic keeps getting bigger, and according to Aaron Judge, the atmosphere might even top baseball’s biggest stage.

After Team USA edged out the Dominican Republic national baseball team in a dramatic 2-1 semifinal win, the American captain said the energy inside Miami’s loanDepot Park felt even more intense than the World Series.

“The World Series I was in, the crowd here, the crowd we had when we played against Mexico, it’s bigger and better than the World Series,” Judge said after Sunday’s game, per AP.
