00:00Dave gets us going with everything you need to know to get your day started with Quick Sports.
00:03What's up, man?
00:04Obviously, it's all about Aaron Judge hitting number 62 last night in a doubleheader.
00:10In game two of a doubleheader, Yankees lost 3-2, and it doesn't matter at all.
00:16It's all about Aaron Judge passing Roger Maris' total of 61 home runs,
00:22hit all the way back in 1961, that was a record for 61 years.
00:30Unbelievable how many times that number kept popping up until Judge took that number down with the home run last night.
00:39It was a big shot.
00:40See, now you have Babe Ruth at 60, Roger Maris at 61, Aaron Judge at 62.
00:46I want to meet the guy who caught the ball.
00:48That guy apparently is a vice president of a mortgage firm that is worth $200 million.
00:57Money goes to money.
00:58Money just fell in money's lap.
00:59So of all the people, he caught what's now being valued at least going to be worth $2 million.
01:07Ain't that always how it goes?
01:09Yeah, the guy was some sort of mortgage firm VP who absolutely does not need the cash.
01:15He's going to keep the ball in the glove box of his Lamborghini.
01:18Roger Maris Jr., though, tweeted out congratulations to Aaron Judge and his family on Aaron's historic home run number 62.
01:27It has definitely been a baseball season to remember.
01:30You are class and someone who should be revered for the majority of the fans.
01:34And he's capitalized majority.
01:37We can now celebrate a new clean home run king.
01:41Close quote.
01:42That's all from Roger Maris Jr.
01:45Beautiful.
01:46He does not acknowledge the records that Bonds, Maguire, and Sosa attain.
01:53He does not recognize their numbers.
01:55I don't either, but I got to say that...
01:57A lot of fans are the same way.
01:58The record books don't.
02:00You know, according to the record books...
02:02The record books do recognize Bonds, Maguire, and Sosa.
02:05Right, that's what I'm saying.
02:06The record books disagree with him.
02:08Yeah, the record books disagree with Roger Maris.
02:10I don't know what we do about that.
02:11Yeah.
02:12Again, just be consistent.
02:14And I sort of agree with Roger Maris.
02:16Because everyone says, well, these guys are big steroid heads and juicers.
02:22And that's why they can't be in the Hall of Fame.
02:24Okay, I agree with that.
02:25So then why are we keeping their records?
02:28I know.
02:29It's the thing.
02:31Nevertheless, it's just so amazing.
02:33He's still, he's also hitting .310.
02:36I mean, this is...
02:37And, you know, the guy in Minnesota is, I believe, batting three points higher than Aaron Judge right now.
02:45That thing is probably over.
02:47But if that guy plays today and he goes 0 for 4 or 0 for 5, who knows?
02:51Maybe Aaron Judge wins the batting title.
02:52So he could hit another one tonight, right?
02:55He could.
02:56I would imagine he might get the day off.
02:59He might get the day off today.
03:00He's been playing all these games in a row to break this record.
03:03We're going to get a little rest before the playoffs start.
03:05He doesn't really need to play.
03:06And he did the 62.
03:08And that's it.
03:09Hey, you know what?
03:10I'll give the Texas Ranger fan base a lot of credit.
03:12Because, A, unlike the Baltimore Orioles, who should be ashamed of themselves, the Texas Rangers did what we asked.
03:19They are out of it.
03:20They were out of it.
03:21And they throw, threw fastballs.
03:24They challenged them.
03:25They didn't just throw, you know, they didn't throw them right over the plate.
03:27But they threw hard sliders, cutters, and fastballs for strikes.
03:31And then Aaron Judge, so Aaron Judge was allowed to actually hit a strike.
03:36Now, who was the pitcher who gave up the record beating?
03:39I don't know.
03:40He's some no-name bullpen guy.
03:41That's why.
03:42We just spent the last couple of weeks saying, oh, you don't want to be that guy.
03:45Right.
03:45But, no, here's my point.
03:47All the Baltimore Orioles guys were so afraid of that.
03:50I mean, the focus is on Judge.
03:52It wasn't on, you know.
03:53And whoever that guy was, he was some bullpen dude because they did bullpen by committee.
03:58Nevertheless, the Texas Ranger fans did give Aaron Judge a huge ovation.
04:03The entire stadium was applauding him.
04:05They had to stop the game.
04:06That's awesome.
04:07And they all acknowledged it.
04:09All the teammates came out, shook his hand, one by one, gave him hugs.
04:12Right.
04:12It was a really special moment.
04:15You guys see it at all or no?
04:17I just watched it in my office when I got in at 5 o'clock.
04:20Oh, nice.
04:21I just watched it on YouTube.
04:22Oh, jeez.
04:23Earlier in game one, the Yankees beat the Rangers 5-4.
04:27So, that was good.
04:29Today's, again, the final game for the Yankees of the regular season.
04:32And we'll see if Judge plays or not.
04:34It doesn't really matter.
04:35He's got the record.
04:37Mets took down the Nationals 4-2.
04:38Brandon Nimmo homered and drove in three runs.
04:40The Mets looked to stay alive in the NL East.
04:42They trailed the Braves by one game with two games to play.
04:46Phillies were shut out by the Astros 10-0.
04:48But the Phillies have secured a spot in the postseason.
04:50They're feeling pretty good.
04:52Football, Giselle Bunchen has reportedly hired a divorce lawyer.
04:57And Tom Brady is looking for one, too.
04:59More on this in the celebrity news.
05:01And basketball, the NBA season just two weeks away.
05:04According to a poll of NBA general managers,
05:07the Milwaukee Bucks favored to win the title
05:10with the defending champion, Golden State Warriors,
05:13the second most favored team to win.
05:15It makes sense.
05:16Giannis and Steph Curry are probably the two best players in the league.
05:20But don't look past a rejuvenated LeBron James and the Lakers.
