I went last night to try to see this giant mother fucker hit 61. 0-2 with 3 Walks, and one pop out to dead center in the 9th that fell 3 feet short of 61 and clinching a playoff spot with one swing. Place was electric by Yankee game standards.

I’ll be there tonight. Me snd three buddies from UT. It’s our annual guy’s trip. Normally do a UT road schedule but the schedule sucks this year, picked Yankees/Sox at random and then now have chance to see Judge hut 61.

I have a feeling he ties the record against Toronto and breaks it against Baltimore. I think there’s just too much build up for it to happen this weekend if that makes sense.

At least two. @VolenteHawk, join the fun. 

Good news, but truth be told I've been distracted by my college football team winning road games.

Good thing history doesn't really set up that way.  I can't think of the number of records I've seen broken right on pace, but it's a lot.

That’s Savannah Bananas level stuff right there

 

i can only imagine the actual penalty/rule if that were to actually happen in one of their games 

700. Holy shit. 

Holy shit he hit another one? I was scrolling Instagram - saw the 699 - then just pulled it back up and saw 700. 

Fuck yea. King Albert!  Not even mad he did it against the Dodgers. 

~2 min vid.

Love that the whole stadium is cheering for him.

Even roberts cheered for him. If he couldn't do it in stl, no place better than Chavez. That was cool shit.

Hell yeah! Congrats King Alfred! Today the DR is celebrating with you, just like all of baseball is! 

Great player, great career. Cannot wait to see him in Cooperstown. Going to have to wear my Dominican Jersey tomorrow.

Indeed. Cool to see the guy finish up his career on this high note after he stunk it up with the Angels for so many years. Never been a huge fan of the guy, but 700 HR is something else. I actually kind of like the Cards at 20-1 to win the WS, and maybe Pujols goes out on the highest note of them all. I'm not saying I think the Cards will win it all, just that I like those odds better than +350 on the dodgers, +425 on Houston, etc.....

Watch him get 3 tonight 

Can't.... Don't have Apple TV. 

He got to 700 with 2 weeks to spare. Pretty much this entire board was convinced he wouldn’t get there at all last month.

It’s free

I was kidding. It is a big deal that they got the call on Twitter. 

 

If you noticed creepy people sitting behind the plate at games today, it’s a viral marketing campaign for the Smile movie coming out soon.

Respect? I think so. 

 

 

Or it could just be the giants applauding any homer against the dodgers

Kimbrel loses his closer role and switches intro song from sweet child of mine (terrible to start with) to Let it go

 

such a clown 

Pujols was never leaving LA this weekend without getting to 700 lol. Roberts would have ended up throwing Dingleberry Jones out there Sunday to tee it up if needed

I admittedly don’t know much about the collectibles market but is that ball really worth a lot of money? It’s not like it’s a record. It’s simply a round number.

Barry Bonds' 756th home run sold for a little over $750k back in 2007. The pujols ball will get a decent chunk of change.

 

the judge ball will surpass both those, combined

Sure. But that was for a record. Is Bonds’ 700th valuable?

Honestly good for him. I think it's classy when fans give it back or offer to - but that's his ball as far as anyone's concerned. Could wind up being life changing money.

Dingleberry Jones is very tough on righties.

Earlier this week, Brandon Steiner, founder and CEO of CollectibleXchange and The Steiner Agency, told ESPN New York he thinks Judge's 62nd home run ball will be worth at least $2.5 million. 

He thinks Pujols' 700th will barely crack six figures.

"I think it’s a solid ball. Somebody in St. Louis could be more excited about that than necessarily nationwide … I think it’s a $100,000 ball, probably my guess," the founder and former CEO of Steiner Sports Memorabilia told FOX Business.

 

Bonds 700 ball went for $800 grand but Pujols' will barely crack $100k? That's certainly a statement to make. Hopefully he was on drugs since it seems like he should be knowledgeable about stuff like that. 

Honestly good for him. I think it's classy when fans give it back or offer to - but that's his ball as far as anyone's concerned. Could wind up being life changing money. 
Yep make me an offer. I'm not being charitable to these players and teams who don't care about any of us.

It’ll be a while before judge hits another. I think the pressure finally got to him and he’s fully lost at that plate. Haven’t seen him look this bad as he has the past 3 games.

Now I'd bet money he hits a bomb in his next PA.

Judge will lead-off the 3rd because Higashioka will swing at anything. He and Hicks are the two guys I never want to see in the lineup when I am here. At least Hicks played last night so I get to see Bader again today.

Yeah but that ball won't go for more than $100k.

I thought about that as I typed that out, as if my prediction rep needed any more hits. Anyone can run into a pitch. But watching him this weekend I just don’t see it happening until he gets out of NY and the pressure is dialed down.

I assume you mean Thursday - today. He’s reached base in 40% of his plate appearances. I’ll go out on a limb and suggest that he’s fine.
