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.

It's unbelievable.
Like mantle..i think this kid is going to hit one out of Yankees stadium before all said and done

I remember the Mick hitting one out on a check swing.

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
