Because, if you're going to be arbitrary about things, it's best to REALLY DO IT UP!

Babe Ruth haz Cars and Planes and Penicillin and Indoor Plumbing.

Ned Williamson had to deal with dirt playing fields filled with manure and pot holes, dysentery, traveling to road games by horse or on foot, and the basic misunderstanding that Opium and Blood-letting were performance enhancers.

Your post made me picture the old "Oregon Trail" video game. I smiled.

Judge will get $40 Million a year and a 8 year contract. Yankees had their chance now the Redsox will swoop in.. Dude had an amazing year and timing is everything..

Boston needs pitching above all else. Oh wait, Chris Sale will be back to collect umpteen million and then be hurt for the season after three starts by gripping his steering wheel too tightly or something.

I don't think you're far off on what he gets. I don't think (hope) he gets it from the Red Sox. I'd put the chances at him returning to the Yankees at 75% personally.

I also don't think the contract is going to be a good one for the team. He's already had plenty of injury issues, and that doesn't usually get better after age 30.

Fun fact: There have been 5 players who have hit 61 or more home runs in a single season. None are in the Hall of Fame. If Judge is to make it, he's got a lot of work to do. He's got a shot, for sure, but lots of work.

Also, I think at least one of the other guys gets there before Judge is retired.

You have convinced me.

I'm feeling you, I think the true home run King is the Ape that threw the bone in the air during the opening scene of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey

One of the great uses of music in a movie scene for sure. Brilliant.
