As a Yankee fan you have to be pretty damned excited for this one tonight. Two Yankees - El Gary and Aaron Judge are in the contest. El Gary has a pretty big challenge facing off against the defending champ. And Judge is up against a powerful hitter in Justin Bour.
Wouldn't be surprised if more people are watching the HRD than the actual game tomorrow night.
Would love to see a Stanton vs Judge final (ideally, a Sanchez vs Judge final!).
Check out El Gary's custom bat he'll be using tonight.
Ex hitter Fernando Tatis
Mantle hit more parabolas. Most Hr hitter do. Kingman hit moonshots. Judge hits a very fast line drive that rises and takes off for a long time then drops sharply.
People forget about Kingman. He wasn't a great all around ballplayer but he was like Judge in terms of being somewhat of a physical freak. I was at the Stadium once when Kingman hit a ball out of the old Stadium - it was foul, but it was about 2/3 of the way down the left field line. That was impressive.
Hold on to your tits.
You are so right. Mantle in the 50s and 60s. Judge now.
Sano got it on his very last swing.
Jesus. Everyone expected him to put on a show and he did that and then some
That was the best head-to-head HR matchup ever (Bour vs. Judge)

put on a show, posted a huge number, Judge still went out and beat him.

Bour kinda gets screwed by the rules. But he put on a show.
Wasn't a big fan of the HR Derby, but that was fun. Good show by those guys. And you could tell Judge was in the best shape out of all of them. Sano was completely spent. Bour looked to be in the 2nd best shape. Even El Gary was spent.
Bellinger was a bit "small" and had to use everything he had.
For a rookie in NY, very impressive
Now to be like Jeter in this respect he has to do it 19.5 more years.
That to me was the amazing thing about Jeter. Interviewed by about 20 guys before and after every game pre season, season and post season...and no one remembers a thing he said
Same is unfolding as true with Judge.
I wonder if those guys are talking on the DL and DJ is his under the table mentor. Wouldn't be surprised.
Caught up with an old buddy over the 4th who's the quintessential masshole Red Sox fan...and even he conceded he's been checking out Judge highlights and that he's really hard to dislike
as someone said above - ESPN cut away from some balls that they must have assumed were pop-ups, but then the "HR" number went up by one.

LOL -- the same can be said of Reese!

College guy. Easy going. Yes, he must have gone to the Derek Jeter School of Linguistics and Accountability.
I like that Judge walked away. He doesn't need his ego fed.
If it were in Bandbox Stadium in front of the hometown fans he would have been hitting 250 foot home runs at will according to a Mets fan on the board.

This.
Yeah we go to work on some things
just gonna concentrate and play better
I have to play better next week
guys played good
our guys fought for it
great catch
xxx was running hard
endless non answers for endless years.
Some of these guys like Jeter and Like Eli and hopefully like Judge can stay on message for years. Yet politicians cant go a six month campaign without open mouth and insert foot even with all the preparation they get. Its so hard to do. News Broadcasters make more mistakes per nine months than Jeter did. Heck the Queen made more mistakes reading 12 speeches per year than Jeter did ad libbing 200 games a year
Through all his great accomplishments, probably his best was spending 20+ years in the brightest lights of NYC and literally never doing or saying remotely the wrong thing. Seriously who can you think of that accomplished that?
Nice work dad.
Of course we don't really know if Judge is bi-racial since he was adopted. Jeter would have been 17 when Judge was born of course. In the unlikely event Jeter got someone pregnant when he was 17 good chance they would have been too young to raise the kid themselves.
Wouldn't it be the craziest story of all times if Judge ended up being Jeter's biological son?

to bed. I had to step in and be the responsible Dad and explain to her that he will never remember his tired day at camp tomorrow, but will remember this night for a loooong time...besides me thinks there will be a ton of 9-10 year olds dragging at camp tomorrow...
Nice work dad.
Good work. My dad dragged me and my sister out of bed once upon a time to watch Buster Douglas knock out Mike Tyson. We joke about it to this day.
Kid is completely fired up.

That's great to hear. If he goes there, he'll never regret it. Same is probably true for Syracuse though haha.
