1. Florida State Seminoles!

2. Pulling for him to win MVP.

   Obviously Judge is plenty deserving, but this is a special season, doing it at the most demanding position on the field, while calling games on one of the best pitching staffs on the game right now. This has been one hell of a season.

3. And took a pitch to the neck behind the plate right before. Guy is a beast!

4. [removed]

5. Imagine breaking a Mickey mantle record and not winning the MVP

6. Closer to replacement level than Judge, nothing to see here folks

   Edit: apparently the flair wasn’t enough evidence of the sarcasm

7. Animal

8. Dudes absolutely incredible.

9. If he doesn’t hit another, he’ll be the only player to ever hit 55 home runs in a season.  

10. how many has he hit batting left vs batting right?

11. Can he get 5 in 12 games to hit 60? I hope so!

12. There’s the MVP right there

13. Pleasure watching him at the hoemrun derby.

14. Big dumper!!!!!

15. HR #56 just went out!!!!!!

16. And there goes #56…

17. He already hit #56 too lol

18. Just hit another one

19. I just cannot believe he won’t win MVP if he hits 60 dingers this year.

20. Imagine hitting a home run to pass Mickey Mantle. Pretty sick.

21. look at the torque

22. And he didn’t stop there.

23. I just want to point out that Raleigh dictated many of the Mariners trade acquisitions with how he negotiated his contract. In terms of value to their team, so much of what cal has contributed to the M’s has been OFF the field.

24. MY OH MY

25. Get Cal’s dong out of your mouth already! 

26. It’s so over

27. Wow just fucking wow!!!! A 60+ years old record? That’s fucking crazy. Did anyone see this coming from Big Dumper? wow
