From simmonssteve: Greatness without a syringe: The historical home run chase of Aaron Judge
Babe Ruth. Roger Maris. And now the eventual champion without a championship belt – the unofficial official home run leader of all time when Judge gets to 62, almost poetically this weekend in Boston. The leader in this era without performance-enhancing drugs. This has been a solo show for an up-and-down Yankees team that has led the American League East just about every day of the season and Judge has led in home runs, basically from start to finish.
And now, with two weeks left in the season, there is something else to consider. The Triple Crown. That didn’t seem to be much of a factor a few weeks ago. And in today’s world, the Triple Crown may not mean as much as it once did, but for someone my age, who grew up with Frank Robinson winning in 1966 and Carl Yastrzemski winning one year later, and nobody after that for 45 years, the Triple Crown meant everything to this kid.
Like Wilt Chamberlain averaging 50.4 points a game in the NBA, which I never saw: I was five years old at the time.
