Everyone in the Yankees’ orbit seems to be tired of waiting for No. 61. Aaron Judge walked four times in five trips to the plate in a 5-2 win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday that clinched the AL East. He remains stuck on 60 home runs, one behind Roger Maris’ franchise and American League …

TORONTO — What seemed predestined when the New York Yankees were the best team in baseball in the first half of the season, and looked doubtful with their subpar play in the second half, was made official Tuesday night. …
Times have changed in 61 years, and that’s no scoop. Aaron Judge isn’t feeling exactly the same kind of pressures Roger Maris felt. For instance, Judge doesn’t have to confront pesky reporters before every game, and there’s no evidence he has lost any hair. He looks as pretty as ever. (For the record, I wonder …

We must confront the unthinkable. Because the unthinkable isn’t impossible. Not quite, anyway. No one thought Freddie Freeman and the Braves would divorce, yet they did.
