Aaron Judge on historic pace again thanks to ridiculous tear
NY Post
Aaron Judge through his first 80 games in 2022: 30 home runs.
Aaron Judge through his first 80 games in 2024: 30 home runs.
He’s doing it again.
The Yankees captain smacked what has just about become his daily home run, a two-run shot, that represented the entirety of his club’s offense in a 12-2 loss to the Mets at Citi Field on Wednesday.
Judge’s incredible tear in what has become another incredible (and possibly historic) season continued in the sixth inning when he reversed a Danny Young sweeper that left his bat at 112.3 mph for a rocket over the left-field wall.
He also singled on a night he finished 2-for-2 with a walk before Trent Grisham replaced him, the game becoming a rout.

On one level, it’s hard to shake this part of it from your mind. Think about how many times you and your best friends from college talked at the tail ends of after-hours parties about putting enough scratch together a few years after graduation to maybe, someday soon, rent a house down the Jersey shore or out in the Hamptons for a week.
