On Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O:

#1 Charlie it’s time for you to be the judge as the New York Yankees Aaron Judge opened the three game series with two home runs on Friday night and a home run on Saturday night leading MLB in homers with 21 at Oracle Park against the San Francisco Giants. He had a foot injury that hampered him for awhile but Judge is back on track now.

#2 Judge also set a high water mark with his home run surpassing Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig for a Yankee with the most home runs in the month of May with 25.

#3 Giants starter Jordan Hicks who served up the two home run balls to Judge said to the media after the game “can you guess” in reference to the to pitches he wished he could get back saying it was the two home run pitches. Hicks does tip his cap to Judge who took him deep twice. Hicks said you can tell by that sound of the bat that it’s going out of the park.

#4 Hicks said the Yankees travel well and they have a lot of fans behind them and there is no mistaking they come out to see their team when their on the road. There is no doubt that this is anticipated series with both teams having a lot of history and tradition.

#5 One thing about Hicks he’s been effective and he wanted to go back and look at some tape and see if he was giving anything away. Something to review for his next outing.
