Best wRC+ Hank Aaron ever put up in a season: 191

Judge has already far surpassed that twice and well on his way to a third time this year. 206 wRC+ in 2022, 218 wRC+ in 2024 and currently has a 244 wRC+ in 2025.

Some of you are really not grasping what we're watching here. Or maybe don't want to grasp it.

Agreed - and this year he is even better! Some don't want to grasp it - and some dude has even gone out o his way to try and demonstrate that Judge had to have taken PEDs which explains his "sudden increase in htting over age 30" lol. Some people are just...special...

Players with 50 home runs in a season four times or more that didn’t use steroids:

Babe Ruth

32 more homeruns this year and Judge joins him. 90 years later.

Judge’s greatness isn’t found in an in depth cumulative statistical breakdown because it’s completely unnecessary. Not to mention you can focus on specific stats to support whatever narrative you’re pushing. It happens in research studies, politics, news etc. all the time

He’s an unforgettable monster of a man who mashes baseballs for the New York Yankees. Fans head for the concession stands to grab a hot dog or beer immediately after his AB’s because they don’t want to miss a single swing. It’s not exactly a performance that’s flying under the radar.

When it’s all said and done, this era will be all about Judge/Ohtani. There will be some other VERY good players of note whose star power will be eclipsed and diminished by these 2. Love it or hate it, it’s just the way it’s going to be.



Don’t overthink it.

In Yankee lore: Ruth, Mantle, Judge

The rest is all hullaballoo

Babe Ruth's single-season total bases record is 457, achieved in 1921. This record has stood for over a century and is perhaps the most enduring feat in baseball history.

Judge is on pace for 470 total bases this season.

A nice record but the most enduring in baseball history?


I love Judge, and I think he's been a monster, but he's human and will slump eventually. He's way overachieved this year, and I'm expecting more realistic numbers in line with his historical average as the season progresses.

The judge is at 4.2 WAR for the season. It's only Memorial Day.

Hey guys - I saw that this big Judge card just sold on Ebay: 2017 Topps Chrome Red Refractor Auto /5 PSA 10 Pop 2 for $50K! Now what I don't get is there is also the other PSA 10 copy of this card (and it's a 10 auto as well) listed at $40K! Why would someone negotiate a deal 10K more than the same card at a Buy Now price?

At a scale that is probably unimaginable to most.

I was going through ebay sold listings with an eBay rep and we saw a fake Ohtani superfractor sell for something like 5,000 or 10,000. After I told him it was a fake card and seller was probably trying to pull a scam, they were like "oh, I wonder if this is money laundering."

How observant
