Eh, nothing changes. Judge is a good dude and it’s another Yankee so good for him. Now, hope he goes 0-playoffs.Not sure why so many Sox fans are cool with this, lol.... but I'm not overly peeved, at least. 62 HR in this day and age is a totally wild feat.
Why should we dislike it in 2022? Our team is eliminated, he seems like a decent guy, he’s never helped eliminate our team from contention (twice just the opposite), it’s just a regular season record (I hope he strikes out in every AB in the playoffs), and he’s only supplanting another Yankee.Not sure why so many Sox fans are cool with this, lol.... but I'm not overly peeved, at least. 62 HR in this day and age is a totally wild feat.
Congratulations on a great season, Happy he did it as it is more interesting than seeing the Sox limp home. However, if they are going to lean into the Most HR by anyone in the American League, shouldn't they account for the 10 HR he has hit in interleague play against NL teams? Ruth and Maris hit all of their HRs vs. AL teams only.
That’s all fair and pretty reasonable…I just still can’t really get behind anything good happening for that teamWhy should we dislike it in 2022?

By the time Ruth set the 60 record in 1927, the Yankees had been playing in the House that Ruth Built for four years.david cone apparently made a really good point during the yankee game today about how stupid everyone looks trying to argue ____ player is the true home run king. Its all literally revisionist history.
Hell you could say Ruth would have hit more homers had he not played games in the forrest known as the polo grounds.

Probably too much to hope he'd donate the ball to a worthy charity to auction.The guy who got the ball is already a rich guy

A finance executive who can afford to sit anywhere in any stadium chose to sit in the "cheap seats" in left field... while wearing a baseball glove... for this particular game where a player on the opposing team had a chance of breaking the American League homerun record.Asked what he was going to do with the ball, Youmans said, “That’s a good question! I haven’t thought about it!”
To be fair, homerun sections of cheap seat sections are often more expensive than much better seats. But I agree.A finance executive who can afford to sit anywhere in any stadium chose to sit in the "cheap seats" in left field... while wearing a baseball glove... for this particular game where a player on the opposing team had a chance of breaking the American League homerun record.
And he never thought about what he might do with the ball? I'd respect him more if he just came out and said he was diversifying his portfolio with horsehide futures.
I'm sure his investment group already has contingencies in place to hedge against that.He just needs judge not to hit another
Yanks are sitting Judge today, so I like those odds.He just needs judge not to hit another
Big Memorabilia wins again.Yanks are sitting Judge today, so I like those odds.
If you're already rich (as this guy seems to be), none of this matters. You keep it if you want to, sell if you want to, whatever.Don’t you have to seriously consider selling the ball sooner rather than later in case events happen in the next few years that causes the ball to lose value? What if Trout hits 63 next year? What if Judge gets popped for PEDs at some point in the future?
For sure, but I'd wait until after the postseason. It could go up if the Yankees win the WS on the back of Judge but it won't go down if they lose in the first round.Don’t you have to seriously consider selling the ball sooner rather than later in case events happen in the next few years that causes the ball to lose value?

Imagine being so rich you have to hide pocketing an effortless $2 mil so people don’t think you’re poor. What a world!Also a money bro like that isn't going to auction that ball unless he actually badly needs the money, he doesn't want the world thinking he badly needs the money (just my educated guess obv). He will strike a deal of some kind with the Judge camp (who has 60 and 61) or keep it, that's my guess. If it was someone who needed the money, then I agree with crow.
You are closer to that world than me, do you think I'm wrong?Imagine being so rich you have to hide pocketing an effortless $2 mil so people don’t think you’re poor. What a world!
I suppose it night seem a little gauche, especially among the good Hamptons set. Others might applaud his fiscal savvy as he’d surely turn that two million into many more rather than letting it settle in an asset less likely to accrue significant value in his lifetime.You are closer to that world than me, do you think I'm wrong?
It's funny that you and I were talking about this exact seeding possibility in maybe May here.I’d auction that ball off in a heartbeat. I might throw a nice party for the SOSH Yankee fans. Maybe I’ll do that anyways, though.
Destiny. The apprentice must face the master.It's funny that you and I were talking about this exact seeding possibility in maybe May here.
Auction house fees are negotiable. Especially with big ticket sports memorabilia itemsThe auction house takes what, 10 or 20%? He'd have to get $2.5M to make it worth going through an auction house.
The guy turned down $3M. Someone must be telling him there could be higher bids out there.The ball is coming to Goldin auctions on 11/29.
While we accumulated 204 baseballs from 22 big league parks in 2022 – more than Wills has obtained in any of her previous studies – MLB also made sure it wasn't easy. One player told Insider that one of Manfred's top lieutenants warned a players' union official not to let players send any balls to Wills for "third-party testing" and warned that the league could fire any non-union team employees who helped her research. Nonetheless, we amassed baseballs from sources around the league, and supplemented our sample by purchasing balls caught by fans and from licensed vendors at ballparks.
Looks that waySo, the allegation is actually they fed Judge juiced balls starting in August to get him over the mark? (Sorry, I’m bad at reading charts).
That advisor was incorrect.The guy turned down $3M. Someone must be telling him there could be higher bids out there.
