I'm very happy for Aaron Judge. He's doing an Important Baseball Thing, and for people that watch and enjoy baseball, I'm glad they have something that keeps them captivated as the season comes to a close. Yay Manfredball or something.
What I'm not happy about is that plenty of Important College Football is also happening this weekend, and the Rodentia-based Corporate Overlord that runs The Best Sport has decided that Judge's pursuit of home runs matters so much that it's worth taking people away from the game they wanted to watch.
All three Yankee games this weekend will also be on MLBN outside of the YES footprint.
ESPN will also have cut ins.
Good job by MLB, basically making Aaron Judge's potential 62nd homer available as many places as it can. https://t.co/6Zd15BuABe
