Today was the 60th time they homered in the same game, and naturally, they won. According to Sarah Langs, they’re one of eight duos in league history to pull that feat off. First is Eddie Matthews and Hank Aaron with 76.
Not sure if Big G and Judge pass them, but man, I hope that after all these years, they finally get their World Series. It would be such a bummer if they don’t get to hold a trophy together.”
