Home Runs 56 and 57 for Yankee Aaron Judge


Fenway Park is one of the most historic ballparks, and it witnessed even more history as Aaron Judge hit his 56th and 57th homers of the 2022 season, guiding the New York Yankees to a 7-6 win against their bitter rivals, the Boston Red Sox.
With these latest two home runs, Judge edged closer to immortalizing his season in Yankees lore alongside Babe Ruth’s 60 home runs in 1927 and Roger Maris’ record 61 in 1961, which has also stood as the American League record for 61 years.
Judge’s first homer of the night — a 383-foot drive through right-center field — tied the game at three in the third inning.
His next one was even bigger, as he blasted a high ball 389 feet through to deep left field and into the stands to tie the game at 4-4 in the sixth.
The most homer ever in a single season was by Barry Bonds in 2001 when he finished with 73.

Ravens Beat Jets 24-9


In the New York Jets 2022 season opener, on a dreary and drizzly afternoon in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the New York Jets got the 2022 season off to a rough start as they were beaten by the Baltimore Ravens, 24 – 9.
The first half saw the two teams engaged in a tight defensive struggle. Neither team could get much going on offense as they exchanged a series of short possessions followed by punts.
The Ravens got on the board first with a short field goal and added a touchdown when Lamar Jackson hit Devin Duvernay in the end zone. The Jets closed out the first half with a 45 yard field goal to bring the Jets within 7 points at halftime.
In the second half it was all Ravens. The Ravens put up 14 unanswered points on a couple of Lamar Jackson touchdown passes. The Jets offense couldn’t get anything going. In garbage time the Jets moved the ball through the air, but they couldn’t get into the end zone until it was much too late and the Ravens were never really threatened in the second half.
The Jets scored a meaningless touchdown in the final minute on a Joe Flacco pass to Tyler Conklin to get within 15 points. Greg Zuerlein missed the extra point to conclude a terrible Jets debut for the veteran kicker.

Giants Upset Titans 21-20


The New York Giants fought back from a 13-0 halftime deficit, upsetting the Tennessee Titans in Nashville on Sunday. The Giants won, 21-20, as Tennessee field goal kicker Randy Bullock missed from 47 yards as time expired.
The Giants, 4-13 last season, won their first season opener since 2016. They had lost 10 of 11 season openers prior to Sunday. The Titans, top seed in last season’s AFC playoffs, were 5 point favorites.
A Daniel Jones to Chris Myarick 1-yard touchdown pass with 1:06 to play pulled the Giants within a point. Coach Brian Daboll went for two points, and a Jones to Saquon Barkley shovel pass was successful, giving the Giants a 21-20 lead.

“Go for the win. We’re going to be aggressive,” Daboll said of the decision to go for two points. “If it didn’t work, I could live with it. I thought that was the right decision. It’s a players’ game. Trust your players and let them go.”
Daboll said he knew as soon as the Giants got the ball on the final drive that he would go for two points if they scored. Jones was not surprised by the decision.

Stan Lee Gets A Bronx Street Named After Him


Stan Lee, one of the most influential comic book creators of all time, now has a street named after him in the Bronx. Lee received many awards and honors in his lifetime, and this one is extra special, as it honors the neighborhood Lee grew up in.
“Stan Lee Way,” is located on University Avenue, between Brandt Place and West 176th Street, near Dewitt Clinton High School, where Lee’s love of writing developed and was nurtured.
Although he would spend his later years in Los Angeles, New York always held a place in Stan Lee’s heart. A good portion of the characters he helped created live in the Big Apple and help keep it safe. Stan’s influence can still be felt in New York City today, particularly at his alma mater.
When asked about Lee’s legacy, a student reported that portraits of Lee hang on the school’s walls, and he serves as an inspiration for many of them. Naming a street after Stan makes sense, in light of his love of the city and his cultural contributions.

Mets Beat Braves 9-7


The first time Brett Baty stepped on the field in the big leagues, he simply took a look around. Then came a moment he’ll remember for a lifetime.
Baty homered in his first major league at-bat, and the New York Mets held off the Atlanta Braves 9-7 to snap Atlanta’s eight-game winning streak.
After being outscored 18-1 in the first two games of the series, the NL East-leading Mets jumped to a 6-1 lead and barely made it stand up to push their advantage over the Braves back to 4 games. And Baty was partially to thank.
The 12th overall pick in the 2019 draft, he came up for the first time in the second inning with a runner aboard and the Mets already ahead 2-0 on back-to-back homers in the first off Jake Odorizzi. After taking a ball, Baty connected with a hanging curve on his very first swing in a New York uniform.

Aaron Judge Hits Number Fifty Four


Aaron Judge continues his pursuit of history and putting the Yankees on his back while he’s at it.
Judge crushed his 54th home run of the season, a two-run shot that broke a tie game in the sixth inning and lifted the Yankees to a 5-2 win over the Twins at the Stadium.
It was the third straight game in which Judge has homered — the third time he has done so this season — inching him closer to Roger Maris’ franchise — and American League — record of 61 set in 1961. Judge’s 54th homer came in the Yankees’ 135th game of the season after Maris had 53 through 135 games in 1961.
