The story behind one of the most impactful seasons in Baseball

The Man, The Myth The Book!

The Yankees’ Aaron Judge broke the rookie home run record this season, when he hit his 50th of the 2017 campaign in a game against the Kansas City Royals. Mark McGwire held the previous record for a rookie, done back in 1987. At 6-foot-7 and 285 pounds, Aaron Judge emerged as the biggest story in baseball in trading cards with his monstrous home runs and record breaking ability.

That alone is worthy of a book. But thankfully there is more behind the story as told by David Fisher in, Aaron Judge: The Incredible Story of the New York Yankees’ Home Run-Hitting Phenom, coming in November.

Junk Wax Era 1988 Score

The rise in the popularity of baseball cards that would lead up to the Junk Wax Era began as early as the late 1970s, and the introduction of two new manufacturers helped spur further growth in the early 1980s. But the interest in baseball cards would reach a fever pitch by 1988, which would mark the first year since 1981 that a new manufacturer would enter the fold.
