    Not the World Series but seeing the Yankees kicking Dodger Butt in the '16 regular season to spoil their pennant chase is almost as nice. Go Yankees waiting on Judge to start smoking the ball!

    I have never tried smoking a baseball.... yet- agreed, Judge has got to bring his B'avg up. Or else try out for the NFL....give him a year or two, will he be the next Winfield, or Michael Jordan...(Birmingham Barons ie)

    When I look at the size of Judge I get immediate recollections of Dave Winfield. Both big, athletic, outfielders, right handed hitters in a yard favorable to lefties. Winnie in my estimation was a great player, and I'm hoping Judge will catch on and be in that mode. Sanchez & Austin are coming along, I'm hoping Judge will as well.

    Winfield was an incredible athlete. Could've played a few sports in the pros but certainly made a good choice. If Judge can manage half his career we should be happy.

    ...just my 2 cents, but I don't think Judge is anywhere near the same league as Winfield...could he be as good of a Baseball player as Winfield?...I suppose it's possible but I seriously doubt it.

    ...purely because of his size and brute power, I'd compare Judge to someone like Giancarlo Stanton.

    indeed if it didn't smoke me first, ( ie Hydrazine handling, underwater Beryllium drilling ops et al )....

    wait, those have nothing to do with smoking baseballs, -

    ...how many rolling papers do you have to stick together in order to wrap them around a baseball?

    The lack of starting pitching rears it's ugly head.

    It's better than watching aging athletes embarrassing the uniform; the kids we know will learn,
    improve & grow to be winners.

    those rolling papers? or my rolling papers? see below, reference size comparison, hand to leaf. Similar to your Steroid Okra Giants, arm to stalk.
