Don't look now, Red Sox fans, but
The Bronx Embalmers have
the best run differential in all of major league baseball (+30). How could this be, you ask? Well, a lot of it has to do with the group of
younger Yankees (disgustingly nick-named
'The Baby Bombers'). Their grotesquely huge right-fielder
Aaron Judge has 6 HRs and 13 RBIs (both leading the team). Another OF,
Aaron Hicks, is hitting .303 with 4 HRs and the son of former Red Sox player
Kevin Romine—C
Austin Romine—is hitting .324. There are some
older contributors as well. 'Ancient' 27-year old
Starlin Castro leads the team in batting (.357) and hits (25). And probably their
best young player (
Gary Sanchez) is hurt. All in all, they are scoring a
lot of runs (fourth in the AL at 92), and giving up the
fewest runs in all of baseball (62). They arrive at Fenway tonight.
