NEW YORK — The chants from the Yankee Stadium faithful started the moment Aaron Judge stepped into batter’s box in the first inning, with each syllable feeling like a desperate plea for No. 99 to remember what he accomplished this season. This was a late October intervention, with the 49,368 paying customers trying to serenade their hero back to life.“M-V-P!”“M-V-P!”“M-V-P!”This was the first World Series game in the Bronx in 5,472 days, and all the optimism at the ballpark was quickly replaced with the dread of an early two-run deficit.

But this fan is unlike most. It’s a Wahoo Kickr Headwind, and as anyone who’s ridden indoors for more than about 10 minutes will tell you, it can be a game-changer. I own one of these fans, and it gets almost daily use. In fact, after a day of searching for the best…
