On a day when The Herd actually talked baseball and suggested that Aaron Judge may be the answer baseball is looking for (why not Trout?); on a day when Imports Dragon Figures put a Judge figure up for pre-order (you can order it here); Aaron Judge hit a monster home run that got the Yankees back in the game at the Oakland Coliseum off Sean Manaea.
