Aaron Judge last year had the best offensive season ever by a RH hitter, and now has 2 of the top 5 such seasons. The other three all came between 1908 and 1924. In other words, Judge has had the two best such seasons in the last 100 years.

Now *that's* a home/road split. Can you guess the player? He led the league in home runs in 6 out of 7 years (including this one), missing the lead by one in the other year.
Hint: Baker Bowl.

Cody Bellinger's OPS started with a different digit in each of his first six seasons: .9xx, .8xx, 1.0xx, .7xx, .5xx, .6xx. That must be unusual.

Disappointed that the Yankees lost Soto, but remember that the Mariners lost A-Rod after the 2000 season and improved from 91 wins to 116. Baseball is a team game.

Now that many Yankees beat writers and fan accounts are here on Bluesky, I'm going to try to re-create the baseball-only account that I had on the other site. (I also have my main personal/professional account here at @stevewang251.bsky.social.)

When I was a kid, I used to make my own baseball cards. I'd cut out pictures from USAToday (the only easy way to get color photos back then) and paste them into my own designs. Inspired by a certain Yankees outfielder, I decided to give it another try. How's it look?
