New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge has hit three home runs in the two games since shaking hands with President Donald Trump. And Judge's latest homer was a historic one.
Judge passed franchise icon Joe DiMaggio to leap into fourth place on the Yankees' all-time home run leaderboard on Friday night with a first-inning blast against the Boston Red Sox. It was the 362nd homer of Judge's career, surpassing DiMaggio, who had 361.
Judge reached 362 homers in his 1,130th game. DiMaggio played 1,736 games and hit his last homer on Sept. 28, 1951, at the end of a 13-year career that was interrupted for three seasons because he served in World War II. Judge had only just DiMaggio on Thursday, when he hit two home runs against the Detroit Tigers with Trump in attendance to watch the game.

Meanwhile, Judge suggested that his team should have Trump around "more often."
"We put on a show. He came in here and told us we were going to win, so I think that gave everybody the confidence in the room to go out there and do it," Judge said, via NJ Advance Media. "But I guess we gotta have him around more often when we go out there and score that many runs and do something like that."

Pitcher Mark Leiter wore a ‘JESUS WON’ shirt when he met Trump in the clubhouse.
Thanks. That’s cool. They both met with Trump.

‘Joltin Joe’ has left and gone away.
But can he catch a fly ball?
Trumpss fault.
Have you watched Aaron Judge or followed his MLB career at all?
I wonder what the stats would be if he was hitting with the same bats and balls used in DiMaggio’s era? I’ m not knocking Judge’s achievement in any way, I am just positing a what if scenario.
Personally, I blame the shot-clock rule, er, I mean the pitch-clock rule. Time, in baseball, seriously?
