Please.
Short porch in right vs short porch to right, center, and left ain’t the same.
Ruth and Maris had 296 to RF.
Judge has a short porch to left and right.
318 to left.
314 to right.
Now every other player that’s played there has the same fences, including his teammates. And Maris hit 30 on the road just like Judge has thus far.
But the 2 stadiums are not equivalent.
Before this discussion, I had never really thought about how many Mantle might have lost to LCF while batting righty. Not just in that one season, but career
First base line thru CF is roughly the direction the football gridiron was laid out.
This was prior to the renovations in the early 70s.
And lest I be cast as a total curmudgeon:
Aaron Judge should receive every first place vote for AL MVP this season.
Yeah, it was a funky place, and placed a huge importance on CF defense.
Judge hits #61
Since it’s game 155, he gets an asterisk just like Maris, right?
Congratulations on the non-162 game, non-steroid, non-NL, Yankees record
3 games against the Nats this weekend followed by the 3 games in Houston next week…
Feel the pennant race excitement: the 4 AL WC contenders are all 4-6 in their last 10 games

Here’s what all the breakaway/split screen coverage of Judge fundamentally misunderstands:
If you actually care about this, you’re streaming it or watching it another way. You’re not tuning into CFB to make sure you catch Judge’s ABs.

That’s some proper snark
Glasnow just got interviewed on the Rays broadcast, says his arm feels really good after his 1st 3 innings pitched post-IL.
The Brewers are desperately trying to lose what is essentially a do-or-die game.
Looking forward to watching CFM vs the Mets later.
