"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

When players get hot for a minute, people are ready to say, "He's back." Then the mocking tones come too. "All you foolish people who were concerned..."
Judge is 1 for 7 since they left Milwaukee. Sure, a very small sample size. But weren't two weekend games also a very small sample size?
The Yankees are also 7-9 over their last 16. That great start was long ago...
So why didn't Judge call off Volpe?
Hummmmmmm...
It's easy to say, "That Soto..." But when it's Judge is it ok?
BIG PLUS TODAY: Austin Wells seems to be coming out of his funk. Once he gets going, he can become a force in the lineup against right-handed pitching.
Soto knows this ballpark. When he was with Washington, they played "home and home" series with Baltimore every year, just like the Mets and Yankees do, so he is accustomed to hitting well in this ballpark. 8th homer of the year.
Many Yankee fans said the Yankees should trade for Mike Trout, and I said "Nope. He gets hurt too much, he would become another Stanton". Well, today, Trout has a torn meniscus and will require knee surgery, so after his blistering start, true to form, out indefinitely with an injury.
