I still don't understand the whole let's bring the previous record holder's family to watch their family member's record be broken.  Are Maris' relatives really excited to see his record broken.  It would be funny if the family in one of these situations declined and indicated they didn't want to see the record broken.

Maris was a Yankee when he broke the record.  That might be a factor.

Also the Maris son is all "This is the real record" kinda guy which is a narrative the Yankees would like to push.

That's what I was thinking: tradition-building. The Yankees Epic.

All those emptied seats at Yankee Stadium: Your 1st-place home team is down by only two runs in the 7th to the intriguing upstart O's, you've made it all the way to the Bronx via the miserable subway or dreary freeways, and got good seats albeit in lousy weather, and you leave the.stadium just because Judge hasn't hit a home run.

Frontrunners.

Pretty funny since Maris is the only guy that ever had an asterisk.

I think all the guys who set record while on steroids deserve asterisks.  To those that say its unfair, Armstrong lost all his Tour de France titles after testing positive for steroids.

Ok, screw the Ravens, I'm back over here! lol

Let's finish this off and get that 82nd win.

[OriolesMagic83]

I would rather Perez be brought in for the 9th instead of Bautista.  Let the big man get his rest.

[LA2]

Sit down Donaldson. Always does something to look even more obnoxious.

[Tony-OH]

Baker is dealing!

 

[O's84]

Baker means business today.

[eddie83]

Baker really coming on.
