He is leading the American League in every offensive category possible and is the reason the Yankees are so good and competitive this season.

It’s pretty clear that the New York Yankees’ cannot duplicate the incredible success they had in the first half of the season.

As the first day of summer dawns, the two New York Major League Baseball teams are on a collision course for another Subway World Series for the first time in more than two decades. The Yankees have the best record in baseball. The Mets have the second best scorecard. In a few weeks, the two will face off for their regular season series. Maybe then we will see which team is better. However, which team has the best all around player? Who is the king of New York baseball?

It's moments like this, that make the game of baseball amazing.

It should have been an awesome celebration.

In 2022, every American League East victory is going to be crucial for the New York Yankees. That's why Sunday night was so important. Even though there are 159 games left for the Pinstripes, manager Aaron Boone knows this division will decided by a few games or less. A three game sweep would have been sweet but Boston showed that they too plan to stick around this season with their 4-3 victory in series finale.

When Opening Day will take place, may be a bigger question than even the New York Yankees questionable Opening Day line-up. Let's have some fun and give general manager Brian Cashman a little help, while providing manager Aaron Boone with a winning line-up. Remember, we have to be realistic with our wish-list additions!

He's a 6-7, near 300-pound slugger who can hit the ball a very, very long way. But like most big bats in The Bigs, Aaron Judge is prone the strikeout.

Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger were each unanimously named Rookie of the Year in their respective leagues on Monday.
