Time To Judge

When a record might be broken, All the fans are on their toes. Will it happen now or later? Well, nobody really knows. So the Yankees are expecting Aaron Judge to do to the deed If he hits just 2 more homers, Which is never guaranteed. Roger Maris holds that record; Back in 1961 He surpassed Babe Ruth’s achievement, Sixty homers, by just one. Judge has 60 at the moment And each time he’s up at bat, There’s a buzz throughout the stadium, Just waiting for that stat. But the pressure is enormous; So far Judge has not come through, Yet all baseball fans are hoping He will do what he must do. Though the Yankees won, most watching Would have sacrificed that win To see Judge tie up the record So the breaking can begin.

So much emphasis on records. I think Judge would trade 61 for a World Series Championship. ~ Just sayin'

I agree you have done an EXCELLENT job with this, and trust NY sports writers will pick it up - and that Judge is not judged just for coming close! Aloha!

Hank Aaron holds the record for most runs batted in and a few other things, but not home runs in one season. I had to Google it myself…

I remember that as well. I’m no longer the fan I once was, but this has brought me back to it. Thanks for stopping by!

Were the Sosa / McGwire records tossed? I don’t follow baseball, don’t remember. As a kid I read a lot about the great teams and records, but not much since then. I enjoyed reading this.

Thanks, Jeff. It’s very hard to find info about this but I think that McGwire’s record (he did break the home run record in 1998) was tossed because of steroid use, which he has admitted and supposedly feels terrible about.
