Aaron Judge has been passing Yankee greats on a day-to-day basis including Joe DiMaggio and Yogi Berra. On Tuesday Sept 9, he passed Yogi Berra with 359 jacks, and then passed Joe DiMaggio on Friday Sept 12 with 362 jacks!

The question is… can he hang with Hank? Hank aka Henry Aaron started playing at a younger age; he broke into the bigs at age 20, where Judge didn’t really start the majors until 24-25 years old. At the same age 33, Hank already had 478 homers compared to Judge, who is at 362 and rising! So right now he is a 100 homers off pace, but he did start at later age, so maybe he will be able to have longer longevity. Either way he is on a tear right now, and leading the league in like five categories… MVP??? three times.

This brings dichotomy a whole new meaning infusing betting right into its ESPN sports application(s)! It seems seamless and innocent especially placing a tab for “Fantasy” league right next to it, but it is terrible for the youths and doesn’t allow them an innocent upbringing or brought up in proper perspective! I can understand that gambling may have ‘helped’ the industry to get out of the coronavirus pandemic and increase revenues, but where and when did we change the values of the undue influence. And When are we going to change back, not continue in the wrong direction.

ESPN has been trying to charge to use their app(lication) since 2010, where they would hide and hold all the rights to college stats, so you would have to pay for using the application to get the information. This was in fact an early predecessor for this gambling notion because the biggest ‘longshot’ winners often bet on college sports and cover the line. They will often bet like $100-$500 on like five or six different college games to drastically increase their odds to 500-1000% So they would typically bet $200, and with a solid ticket parlay clean sheet end up with about $2000. Keep in mind that one wrong selection, and you lose $200.

Srbija Novak Djokovic, still among the top three players in the world, and still is defying all odds, no quarter, and beat Jan Lennard Struff to advance to the QuarterFinals of the highly touted #USOpen yesterday!
