The amazing Aaron Judge hit two more home runs tonight in Fenway Park for #56 and #57 He needs four more with 22 games remaining to tie Roger Maris’s Yankee and American League record of 61 in 1961.
And the Yankees won and increased their lead in the American League East to six games. A very good night to be a Yankee fan.

And please try to get his name and if he is currently a Duke student. That’s why I call this thread “Real Sports”. I enjoy knowing who I am looking at, so I can check his credentials and all. I love following sports and the guys who are the participants.
While I could not get a name I did get two more gifs of him & this video & will post all that on the other sports thread as well:
And here is the video:
Sorry Duke wrestler lost.
This thread?
Any team such as Duke that Mike is a fan of.

Aaron Judge hits second home run of game for 59th of season.
The amazing Aaron Judge hit #58 & #59 today. He is one away from Babe Ruth’s long standing record of 60 home runs in a single season that was broken by Roger Maris and two away from Roger Maris’s 61 in 1961, for the American League record. This is a season for the ages and I am so fortunate to be able to watch every game in his remarkable season!

Thanks br, but it is not necessary to put up Duke related pics and videos on your threads for me. I appreciate your good intentions but for it to interest me it has to be an athlete that I am familiar with and follow. One of the great things about this forum is that Mark allows us all to post whatever interests us and I will use this thread to post pics of guys that I am interested in. But again I thank you for your kind intent. Have a great day!

Daniel Jones is an ex Duke QB who is now QB for my favorite football team, the Giants. Jones is not and never will be a spectacular quarterback but if he can play within himself, with his accurate arm and athletic ability to run when needed, I will be very happy. The Giants are now 2-0 for the first time since 2016, and they are favored again next Sunday.

Here is a very good piece on Aaron Judge from NPR.
www.npr.org
Heard on Weekend Edition Saturday
Aaron Judge looks like Paul Bunyan in Yankee pinstripes. He has shoulders like boulders, and when he hits home runs—and he has struck 57 this year—his bat looks light as a matchstick as he smacks a ball into the stands.
If Mr. Judge hits just five more home runs in the 18 games left in the regular season, he will reach 62. Many fans, including me, will consider this the real all-time single season home run record. Yet public attention to Aaron Judge's home run quest seems strangely muted.
Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa all hit more than 62, a generation ago. But we now know they did it with the help of performance enhancing drugs.
There is no reason whatsoever to suspect Aaron Judge has taken any banned substance. He seems a modest and appealing 30-year-old man, who was adopted as an infant and grew up in a small farming town. It's kind of a Superman story.
Aaron Judge hit 52 home runs in 2017, his rookie season, and seems to have been steadily working toward this mark. Yet many sports fans may be suspicious of anyone's new milestone.

This season, seven major league players have been suspended after random drug tests.
Some cases may make you roll your eyes. Pedro Severino of the Milwaukee Brewers had Clomiphene in his system, which can soften the side effects of steroids. But the drug is generally used to induce ovulation. You may wonder if the Brewers' catcher was trying to conceive a child, or conceal the use of steroids.
It has been 61 years since Roger Maris hit 61 home runs in 1961. Players are now multi-million-dollar enterprises who hire their own nutritionists, physicians, and trainers, and don't gorge, as Babe Ruth did, on hot dogs and beer. We should expect modern players, with their superior fitness and training, to smash longstanding records.
But one of the enduring effects of the drug scandals in sports is to make us wonder how much of what we see is for real. For every player caught by random tests, how many are missed? And how many great athletes, like Lance Armstrong at the Tour de France, may turn out to be accomplished cheats?
The use of drugs in sports seems to have made many fans mistrust some of the magic we see on the field. It is sad if the misdeeds of some of baseball's biggest frauds cast doubt on Aaron Judge's swing for the record books.
Opinion: Aaron Judge might break the true single-season home run record
New York Yankee Aaron Judge is approaching 62 home runs in a single season, which Scott Simon considers to be the true record, as those who have surpassed it used performance enhancing drugs.

Yankees traded with St. Louis Cardinals for 28 year old Harrison Bader at the trade deadline in August. He has been injured but is playing first game for Yankees tonight. Sure looks different with Yankees grooming rules.

Yankees were losing 8-4 in ninth inning. Aaron Judge hit home run #60 to tie Babe Ruth. Then they loaded the bases and Giancarlo Stanton hit a walk off grand slam. Yankees win 9-8. Wow.
