Around the Empire: Yankees news - 8/13/22

ESPN | David Schoenfield: I’m running out of superlatives to describe Aaron Judge. He has been, by far, the best player in the league this year, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down. Even amid a lengthy team-wide slump, Judge’s home run pace has fans around the world officially on record watch. At the time of writing this he has hit 45 home runs, trailing Roger Maris’s Yankees record by 16 and Barry Bonds’s league-wide record by just 28 with 50 games still to play. In this article, David Schoenfield outlines the historical contexts of the highest home run totals and discusses what Judge needs to do to topple both records.
