"Luis Arraez bat day" is now just "bat day" on the Minnesota Twins promotion schedule. Hopefully the Twins don't scrub off his name and accomplishment and hand out blank bats.

You mean mlb helping Judge to get there by feeding him the lesser known "goldilocks balls" to boost his performance. Judge's record will forever be scarred and tainted; and any real record book should and will have an asterisk by it. How many of those "hits" and home runs would have been fly outs if he was using the balls the rest of the league got. I know Aaron Judge didn't have control over what balls were thrown his way, and he is a very good if not great player, but his average may not have been nearly as close as it was to Arraez's if he was allowed to be thrown deadened balls or balls on the other side of the goldilocks balls two thirds of the time down the stretch. Would Judge have even hit .300 or would he have finished around .298? Again non of this is Judge's fault but one could make a compelling case that the mlb nudged him to the record. I normally wouldn't bring this up but as a Twins fan when something like this happens and players at Yankee Stadium or other large maket teams are given special treatment it Irks me. The league needs to use ONE uniform ball. Not two, not three, but ONE! End rant
