Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge hit his 40th home run of the year Sunday in the fourth inning of the Rangers' Nick Martinez, joining Mark McGwire (1987) as the second player in the history of Major League Baseball to record 40-plus homers as a rookie.
In the Yanks' 16-7 victory at Globe Life Park, Judge also became just the fourth Yankee to hit 40 homers in a season in his age-25 season or younger, joining Halll of Famers Mickey Mantle (1956), Joe DiMaggio (1937), Lou Gehrig (1927) and Babe Ruth (1920).

Well FWIW, It was posted in Breaking News. If it hadn’t been posted there, I’d never have seen it. Aaron Judge, whoever he is, taking a crap or whatever, isn’t breaking news! And if it’s “refreshing” to some, post it where only those needing this kind of “refreshment” see it.
