Witness to History

 now ---- the Avid Yankee Haters are not the ones that are impressed by what you have witnessed ....


Aaron Judge ties Roger Maris with 61 home runs,,, the most ever hit in the American League... I will leave the discussion of who is the True Home run king for another day.... 

I expect that Judge will hit at least one more in the next 7 games....    


I am trying to think of what I saw as a kid --- Mantle , Gibson, Koufax, Drysdale, Gossage, yes, Bonds,,, Mguire, Sosa, Reggie, Mattingly, Nolan Ryan, and then what you guys have witnessed :

Mariano - the all time saves leader and only unanimous player voted to the HOF

Jeter - an amazing career,

Pujols - hitting 700 Home runs,,, and I expect is the next unanimous HOF'er..

and now Aaron Judge- a guy we heard about in the Yankee organization for a few years,,, Remember ,,, Judge, Greg Bird (spose to be the best hitter of them all) and Gary Sanchez... Well - Bird got hurt , and was never the Same,,, Sanchez was great for season,, but his strikeouts and lack of defense made him impossible to keep....  and Judge - coming into his own....  with a huge Free Agent Contract coming from Some team!!  

Now he is 30 years old ,, not a Mike Trout that was I think 24 25 when he signed his last contract... however, i still expect Judge to get 8-10 years, and 30 - 40 million per year. I am just hoping that this is with the Yankees.... 


This guy learned from Jeter --- He listened to how Jeter spoke,,, and what he said,,, this not  phony,,,
He is all about the Team winning,,, it's why his team mates love him..  Last night he credited Hicks for getting on base in front of him,,, he then said he only wanted to help out Cole who was pitching a great game,,,  , cause the Jays just tied the game,,,,   he Kept private the conversation between himself and Roger Maris Jr,,.... and remember the other day when hit #60- and refuse the on filed interview by the YES reporter because Stanton hit that walk off Grand Slam ,,, he told the Reporter to go interview Stanton.... that's class.
