It’s time to strip Chris Mullin of his status as a New Yorker.<\/p>\n

The former St. John’s coach, player, and Brooklyn native thinks Aaron Judge should join him in San Francisco, where Mullin \u2014 a former Golden State Warrior \u2014 works for NBC Sports Bay Area as an analyst.<\/p>\n

He made his pitch during the Warriors’ pregame show<\/a> on Wednesday, with a tenuous grasp of baseball history to boot.<\/p>\n

\u201cListen, it’s time to come to the Bay Area, Aaron Judge,\u201d Mullin said of Judge, who grew up in northern California. \u201cAll Rise, let’s go. Oracle Park is a beautiful place to play. You’re gonna win championships here, just look at what Steph Curry’s doing here. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bay Area’s a giving place. When you’re playing in The Bronx, a career year, you broke Lou Gehrig’s 61 home runs, hit 62 home runs, and they’re giving you the Bronx cheer during the playoffs. Time to go, man. Go back home.\u201d<\/p>\n

The home run record Judge broke belonged to Roger Maris, not Gehrig \u2014 whose career-high was 49 home runs. <\/p>\n

Mullin is well familiar with the boos of New Yorkers, as he had a 59-73 record over four seasons coaching St. John’s, winning just 20 games in the Big East from 2015-19. He resigned from the role in April 2019, citing a \u201cpersonal loss\u201d following the death of his brother.<\/p>\n

Judge visited with the Giants this week in San Francisco and they are considered the biggest threat to the Yankees to sign the slugger.<\/p>\n

Mullin’s No. 17 is retired with the Warriors, and he evidently feels more kinship with the Bay than his hometown.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’ve been waiting for someone to replace Barry Lamar Bonds,\u201d Mullin said. \u201cAnd he’s the perfect fit.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
