3. Urshela makes the All Star team
4. Less than 30 players go on the IL
5. Cole throws a perfect game in his debut
6. Yanks sweep the world series
7. Gleyber hits 30 HR against the Orioles

Through 148 games, Aaron Judge is on pace for 58.0 HRs this season. In the last 10 games his pace has risen from 59.9 to 58.0.
Ruth/Maris/Bonds/Judge's all had a higher pace through 148 in their best seasons.
Eventually pitchers will stop pitching to Judge
- Judge's '22 pace fell steadily over the final 15 games of the season
- Maris's pace fell over the last 20
- McGwire's pace fell over the last 18
- Sosa's pace fell over the last 13
Only Ruth and Bonds didn't slow down at the end
Aaron Judge is on pace for 63.1 HRs this season (1st time this season his pace has been 63+).
In the last 10 games his pace has risen from 57.1 to 63.1.
In Ruth/Maris/Bonds/McGwire/Sosa's best HR year, they all had hit the 63 HR pace much earlier in the season.
I know that the Yankees just haven't announced numbers yet, but I am amused that as of now per their official roster:
1) They have two 99's à la spring training
2) They have unretired Derek Jeter's number for Trent Grisham

At first I thought these jerseys were a bit plain, but fine overall. After reading this, I hate them even more. None of these "symbolisms" are specific to Baltimore.
"Colorful, vibrant, quirky" could be used to describe almost every city in America (many moreso than Baltimore".
Laz Diaz's umpiring yesterday ranks 2,375th in accuracy out of 2,485 games since last year's Opening Day.
It certainly looked like it too.
