Yankees star Aaron Judge is the daddy of this season. He made it his own long ago.
MILWAUKEE — The large crowd that passed on the weekly Friday fish fry at the local supper club Friday night came to see and cheer Aaron Judge, whose batting exploits had never before been viewed at this comely National League park in this wonderful Midwestern city. The fans could not possibly have been disappointed. Hardly anyone ever is. Brewers prevailed in a 7-6 thrillerEveryone knows he is threatening to break Roger Maris’ Yankees and American League home run record, and will likely get it.
“He’s a special man, and it’s a special season,” Josh Donaldson said of Judge. “It’s one of the more special seasons in a long time, since the steroid era.” Now that Judge is within four home runs of Maris, it’s an event, and that was the case in this great baseball city that was home for years to Hank Aaron, who like Maris was a true home run champion. Judge debuted in 2016, two years after the Yankees last came to the nicely-named American Family Insurance Field, befitting this Midwestern city which, as the slogan says, is a great place by a great lake.
