Good morning, Sports fans and aficionados! It’s Davey Mac here with a fun, middle-of-the-week Sports Report for ya! The conference finals in the NBA have begun! The NHL playoffs start tomorrow! The Jets and the Black Friday Game! But first! Aaron Judge gets revenge on the Toronto conspirators!
So…what do the Blue Jays got to say now, huh? If you didn’t hear about it from yesterday’s Sports Report (click here)…the Blue Jays announcers Buck Martinez and Dan Shulman and then the Blue Jays themselves inferred that Aaron Judge was cheating on Monday because Judge glanced into the Yankees’ dugout before hitting a home run. LAME.
Well, Judge heard about the disrespect and decided to get revenge last night. Number 99 destroyed a 448-foot home run to straight away center field that broke a damn sign in Toronto’s park!

BAM! How ’bout dem apples, Blue Jays announcers, players, and fans?! You know how we know that Aaron Judge is NOT a cheater?! Because he’s six foot nine!! THAT’S how! Also, for all the haters…Major League Baseball routinely and randomly tests modern day ball players for Performance Enhancing Drugs. And superstars are not excluded…we know this because Padres megastar Fernando Tatis (who was on the cover MLB’s video game last year) failed a drug test last year and was suspended for 80 games. But Judge? There’s never been a whisper of him being a cheater in any way!
