Sal says you don’t need an abacus to figure out who’s under scrutiny. Take the team roster of who was in London that night less the players who have issued exculpatory statements leaves those under suspicion. Not even as complicated as Euclid.

Do not say a little in many words but a great deal in a few.

Sports Business Journal – Aaron Judge’s 61st home run delights Toronto crowd

There is a difference between comparing with past eras and competing with them. Comparing is fun. Competing is annoying. We can compare Judge’s dominance with Ruth’s or Barry Bonds’s, but we don’t need Judge to undo the feats (or misdeeds) of 1998 and 2001. This is a beautiful, messy sport with a long, beautiful, messy history. Sometimes, a great player has a special season. That is Aaron Judge in 2022. It doesn’t have to be more, or less, than that.
