What gets me the most is that many of these players expect fans to return balls to them without any money trading hands. I'll "give them a signature" etc. I think they should bid in an auction just like the rest of us. It wouldn't even make a dent in their wallet.

Maris's season was a total aberration though, while Judge has been hitting homers at a very high rate his whole career.
That being said, who knows if the pressure will get to him. Going to be very interesting to see in upcoming years
