The story behind one of the most impactful seasons in Baseball
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.
