This season is for Judge and his run through MLB America.
If the New York Yankees are going to win the World Series again, it will be because of the player they have.
His bat is very dangerous.
When there is a big home run happening in a big spot, the source of it is usually the bat of the player.
We watched it again Tuesday night. The loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates was supposed to be a bad day at work.
The Pirates led 8-5 after Judge hit his 60th home run of the season.
The bases were loaded when he came up. The laser shot hit the left-field stands. The fans jumped for joy. It was similar to a scene from a movie.
But who is this person? He hit 59 homers in a single season.
Injuries, not good stuff from the mound, have made it hard for him to perform.
He is a must-see TV. A concession run or a bathroom run is what he is.
At the All-Star Game in L.A., we saw it when he hit a two-run HR into the left field stands. He was the first Yankee to win the All-Star game's Most Valuable Player award.
In the first half of the year, he had 24 HRs and 61RBI. The Yankees had the best record in the American League. The reason they had played like monsters was due to their bat.
The Field of Dream Game took place in the Iowa cornfields, and we can't forget it. In the ninth, he hit a two-out, two-run go-head HR that gave the Yankees a 2-0 lead.
If you're a Yankees fan, you'll be happy to know that Stanton has had a great bat in the playoffs.
In his last eight playoff games, he's hit seven homers and 14RBI. He became the first player to hit a home run in each of his team's first five games of the playoffs.
It is a dangerous combination.
It was the first time Judge and Stanton were fully healthy and playing that season.
It is almost a foregone conclusion that the Bronx Bombers will win when the pair both homers. Injuries have claimed one of the other teammates.
The Yankees were 25-1.
Both home runs came in a 10-4 victory over the White Sox in Chicago. The win gave the Yankees their 24th win of the season. Only five times in franchise history have they reached 24 wins in their first 32 games.
They won the World Series in all but one season.
He was placed on the injured list after sustaining an injury at the All-Star game. The Yankees didn't score a lot of points for nearly a month. New York averaged two runs less a game when Stanton was out with an injured foot.
In his first game back, he had three runs in the Yankees 13-4 win over the Oakland A's.
Teams have to pitch to Judge. It is huge.
It will be the sixth pair of teammates to achieve it in history if the pair reach 100 homers. In 1961, only one set of teammates had 50 or more in a season.
They are that potent. The Yankees are in a good position to win the title this year. It has been that way for the entire season.
