Aaron Judge just hit a ball into the upper half of the third deck at Citi Field. Possibly the longest HR ever hit at the park.

He looked bored doing it.

Jekyll and Hyde. Does that while setting the position player record with a 33 game strike out streak. If he does it two more games he'll have the all time record.

THOU SHALT NOT MESS WITH THE HOME RUN THINGY!

people, it's awesome. it's horrible and ugly and campy and PERFECT.

If you can't have a gaudy, brightly colored, flamingo-and-marlin-laden sculpture in Miami, WHERE CAN YOU HAVE IT?

just when you think it can't get any more kitschy... THE BIG MARLIN ON TOP SPINS AROUND! it's the BEST.

I am honestly not being sarcastic. I love that thing. I acknowledge it is unforgivably ugly and every horrible adjective you can throw at it. It was even better seeing it in person.

p.s. no one should be surprised Derek Jeter has no appreciation of whimsy. :p He's probably going to pour bleach in the aquariums when no one's looking.

p.p.s. <a href="http://board.uscho.com/showthread.php?100065-MLB-2012-Part-1-It-s-here/page44">We had this conversation before the park opened</a>, and unsurprisingly, Kepler, aparch and I were on the same sides we are now. My only change is I like it even MORE. :D

The home run thingy can't be moved.

Re: 2017 MLB Season - The Goat Memorial Thread

My liberal a ss is a bit uncomfortable with this for a few reasons. First is Yawkey doesn't have anybody to defend him as his wife is dead and he has no descendants who might go to bat for him. That makes him an easy mark. Next while I do understand the Sox of the 50's didn't have any black players on the team, what I'd like to know is if Yawkey changed his views later in life as the Sox teams of the late 60's-70's featured players like Reggie Smith, George Scott, Luis Tiant, and Jim Rice. I'm curious what they all thought of him. Finally the name includes his wife who was owner for about 15 years after his death. Does she get scrubbed too?

I was thinking of that too. Are we going to strip the name off of Mass General Hospital? I'd really like to hear what some of the black players who played for him think and what their interactions with him were like.

Here in Houston at the Astros game. Home plate ump got hurt. Took him out of the game. Never saw that happen. Playing the rest of the game with three umps.
