Outside the Confines: Records and milestones
Photo by John Fisher/Getty ImagesIt’s hard to believe there are only 2½ weeks left in the 2022 regular season. Of course, with all the extra playoff teams, I’m expecting the postseason to finish up sometime around Christmas. (Yes, I’m aware that the World Series is scheduled to end no later than November 5. I’m exaggerating for rhetorical effect.)
Yankees slugger Aaron Judge hit home runs number 58 and 59 on Sunday in a 12-8 win over the Brewers. Judge now only needs three home runs to pass Roger Maris for the American League record.
Bryan Hoch has a look at Judge and his quest for the record and maybe a Triple Crown.
