Not only did we get an 11-10 finish, an exciting offensive affair, but Aaron Judge had two home runs, and so did Mike Trout. Trout and Judge are undoubtedly two of the greatest players to ever lace them up, as there’s a strong argument that they’re the two best players of this era.
There’s nothing but great things to say about both guys, too, as they really take care of business on and off the field. We haven’t heard any problems from either star, and that makes them even easier to root for. From the sound of things, they both have a lot of respect for each other, too.
“He’s the greatest…he’s the greatest of all-time,” said Judge, per FOX. “He’s been fun to watch his whole career.” “I was going to talk some smack to him after the one he hit all the way to the warning track and say hit the weight room, but I didn’t get a chance to,” Judge said.

“It was great. That’s baseball for you,” Trout told reporters after the game. “It’s what fans want, and to be able to see something like that, pretty cool.”
It’s awesome to hear two guys understand what they have done for baseball. Judge is an incredible player right now, while Trout still has a lot left in him and will go down as one of the five best players to ever lace them up, at the very worst.
