Remember when news broke that he died..when he didn’t?
How long will Aaron Judge’s rookie record stand?
Did you know he dunked his donuts?
Joe DiMaggio is also one of only two ball players in history to record 350+ career HR with less than 500 strikeouts. The other was Yogi Berra
And like Aaron Judge, he dropped the ball. Off the field though. Marilyn Monroe loved him yet he didn’t secure the deal with her in the end despite a divorce

Mark McGwire hit 49 HRs as a rookie in 1987.
Boone would have platooned him.
