5/5/26 10:23 AM - Judge wants new Bronx tradition: Sterling's voice booming “Theee Yankees win!" before Sinatra song. Aaron Judge hopes John Sterling's iconic call, “Ballgame over! Yankees win! Theee Yankees win!” becomes a new tradition at Yankee Stadium. Judge shared this after the Yankees defeated Baltimore 12-1, completing a four-game sweep on the day of Sterling's death at age 87. Sterling, who called games from 1989 to 2024, was honored with a pregame tribute — and then his familiar call that punctuated Yankees wins was played over the ballpark's public-address system following the final out. Judge hit his 14th homer in the first inning and added a two-run single in the eighth. Yankees manager Aaron Boone also supports the idea of Sterling's call becoming part of the victory routine.

5/4/26 12:32 PM - Nearly half of Munetaka Murakami's hits have been homers. It takes a lot to sustain that. Munetaka Murakami is tied with Aaron Judge for the major league lead with 13 home runs. That accounts for nearly half of Murakami’s hits so far this season. The infielder for the White Sox has 14 singles and no doubles or triples. This type of all-or-nothing production would be quite rare if it continues for an entire season. So far, 48.1% of Murakami’s hits have been homers. The single-season record — among players who qualified for the batting title — is 46.8% by Barry Bonds. He did it during his famous 2001 season, when he slugged a record 73 home runs and had 156 hits.
