Damn, Yankee!

“In 1961, Roger Maris broke the American League home run record with 61 long balls. 61 seasons later, Aaron Judge has matched him — on his hardest-hit homer of the year.” Aaron Judge tied Roger Maris as his mom and Maris’s son looked on. The ball was missed by fans, including one named Frankie Lasagna, fell into the Blue Jays bullpen and was promptly handed over to the Yankees. After coach Matt Buschmann picked the ball up, his sportscaster wife who was covering Hurricane Ian from her home state tweeted, “Bad news is I’m down here in Florida battling a hurricane, but the good news is I can announce my retirement…” When she saw how quickly her husband handed the ball over, she followed up with, “Oh cool. He just handed that back without checking to see if our house is still here? I’d next like to announce our divorce.” She was just Yankee-ing his chain. The ball got to Judge. And a nice guy just achieved a hell of a milestone.
