Rooting for the triple vs Twins second baseman's average battle. I can tell you that Judge has more strikes called on balls than any player Umps can't seem to grasp where his knees are. Boone been tossed multiple times. That's a huge disadvantage he has along with being walked so much. But if he has a lead walks could help him.7 games left. How many dingers you think he ends up with?
ESPN today says he’s projected to hit 64. Just tied AL record with Maris at 61.
O’s at Yankees 7pm. Anyone gojng?
Im no Yankee fan but hes the real single season homerun record holder in my eyes. That is of course if he does break it.7 games left. How many dingers you think he ends up with?

Not even looking at the steroid guys (who should be in the HOF) , just breaking Maris record as a Yankee with the NY media the expectations to win every day, turning down 230 mill betting on himself.Im no Yankee fan but hes the real single season homerun record holder in my eyes.

Yankee numerology: It's all about the 9's
Maris-No. 9 Judge-No. 99
Maris hits # 61 in 1961 & Judge hits # 61-61 years later
Judge was up at bat on Saturday at the same exact time on the same day that Maris number 61
Judge hits No 62 but Yanks lose & have current record of 99 wins & 62 losses
If Judge should hit #63 this evening, it will be 63 round trippers in 162 games. Add the digits 6+3=9 1+6+2=9
For those still following: The square root of 9=3 Babe Ruth's Number. And 3 is also the number of players who have hit 60 dingers in a season in a Yankee uniform.
9-3=6 Anyone else want to tie this line of thinking to 6 degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon?
Maris had an asterisk solely because Ford Frick had a career beyond sportswriting due to Babe Ruth's accomplishments.Babe is still the OG legit HR champ.
60 HR's in 151 games.
Eventually MLB will chase money and have like a 200 game season and someone will hit more but they are all measured up against the Babe.
And that's why Maris had the asterisk. Even 60 years ago they knew it was a farce.
