It's makes me cry that Luca wasn't with us to watch Judge break the AL record for home runs with 62 but i'm sure he was watching happily up in heaven. Rest in Peace Luca the world misses you and god bless you.

I am sorry to report that Luca Iacono passed away at 11 years old in November 2019. I read his obituary and cried and cried. I am praying for his Dad and his Mom. I prayed for this kid, I felt he was amazing young person. I loved this kid! At least, Luca got his Make- A-Wish and met Aaron Judge. Had this boy lived I could see him turning pro someday. Rest in Peace, Luca.

Michael York u act like the Yankees are the only team That Do this Sort Of Thing. Smh. But With my Bostonian Hatred Of New York Out Of the Way, this Was Amazing to See. And I do love Aaron Judge as a Guy and a Baseball Player. I just hate that he is in those God Awful, Ugly as hell Pinstripes. But still a Great Guy. And Admittedly a Great Organization

@1985malibuexpress 5 лет назад

BMosesM The Red Sox / Yankees rivalry is the best there is in professional sports. The rivalry makes both teams more exciting. I commend your ability to be objective about your "hated Yankees." I do indeed despise your 'ROX," but as a fan of all things baseball, I respect & appreciate them. GO YANKEES!

@Jake21128 5 лет назад

@1985malibuexpress 5 лет назад

Ellande Campbell agreed. They are too damn good this year. One of us should grab a baseball bat, hideout at their clubhouse, & gently apply some "Tonya Harding" to their players knees. If you are not old enough to appreciate the Tonya Harding joke, my apologies.

@savagecabbage4839 5 лет назад

Replace Bird with Voit.

@TheYankeesfan1993 5 лет назад

You do realize that Judge would be 36, Stanton going on 39, Sanchez and Bird would be 35, Didi would be 38, Gardy would be 45, Andujar and Gleyeber are actually reasonable they would be 33 (Andujar) and 31 (Torres) Luca would be 19, assuming he would be up 3 weeks in to the year for an extra year of control.
