Okay Pipps - who was the better defensive right fielder: Judge or Maris? They are/were both great. In fact I said on this forum a year or two ago that Judge reminded me of Maris in the way he played right field, the way he went to the ball, the way he set himself to throw, the way he instinctively made the right decisions. And they both could play CF very well. But really, Judge has physical gifts beyond what Maris had. He covers more ground and as amazing as Maris' arm was, Judge is even stronger. I would say Judge, but the gap isn't as wide as some might believe. But Roger will always have a secure place in Yankee history. And really, as much pressure as there truly was on Judge, it was far greater on Maris. |

Why not let Cole finish the seventh? He had his one bad inning, and he's only at 92 pitches.

The kid didn't get enough pitches after he hit 60 and he started thinking too much.

Yikes, trying to protect this lead with Britton.

Will be absolutely amazing if they don’t resign him after hitting 61+ home runs

And, that was an expansion year in 1961, which upset some purists, and the game had lengthened from 154 to 162 ball games, which rankled the older crew into an asterisk. But, my understanding, was that Mantle was who was expected to challenge that record, and if you look at the numbers - Mickey had an amazing season. Better average, better OBP, better OPS+, and he led the Yankees in steals with 12, when the entire team had only 28, which included Mick's 12. |

I’m so glad this home run record won’t be marred by PEDS, nor a Jack rabbit ball… it was so sickening watching those NL players that I prefer not to name topple sacred records while playing in an unfair atmosphere…

Wouldn't hurt my feelings if Britton didn't make the post-season roster. Utterly incapable of a clean inning.

TRIVIA WHO WAS THE MANAGER OF THE YANKEES THE GAME JUDGE HIT 61? Clearly Boone because Cole was removed from the game after getting the first out in the inning. Doubt Rizzo does that. |
