00:00Dave gets us going with everything you need to know to get your day started with Quick Sports.

00:03What's up, man?

00:04Obviously, it's all about Aaron Judge hitting number 62 last night in a doubleheader.

00:10In game two of a doubleheader, Yankees lost 3-2, and it doesn't matter at all.

00:16It's all about Aaron Judge passing Roger Maris' total of 61 home runs,

00:22hit all the way back in 1961, that was a record for 61 years.

00:30Unbelievable how many times that number kept popping up until Judge took that number down with the home run last night.

00:39It was a big shot.

00:40See, now you have Babe Ruth at 60, Roger Maris at 61, Aaron Judge at 62.

00:46I want to meet the guy who caught the ball.

00:48That guy apparently is a vice president of a mortgage firm that is worth $200 million.

00:57Money goes to money.

00:58Money just fell in money's lap.

00:59So of all the people, he caught what's now being valued at least going to be worth $2 million.

01:07Ain't that always how it goes?

01:09Yeah, the guy was some sort of mortgage firm VP who absolutely does not need the cash.

01:15He's going to keep the ball in the glove box of his Lamborghini.

01:18Roger Maris Jr., though, tweeted out congratulations to Aaron Judge and his family on Aaron's historic home run number 62.

01:27It has definitely been a baseball season to remember.

01:30You are class and someone who should be revered for the majority of the fans.

01:34And he's capitalized majority.

01:37We can now celebrate a new clean home run king.

01:41Close quote.

01:42That's all from Roger Maris Jr.

01:45Beautiful.

01:46He does not acknowledge the records that Bonds, Maguire, and Sosa attain.

01:53He does not recognize their numbers.

01:55I don't either, but I got to say that...

01:57A lot of fans are the same way.

01:58The record books don't.

02:00You know, according to the record books...

02:02The record books do recognize Bonds, Maguire, and Sosa.

02:05Right, that's what I'm saying.

02:06The record books disagree with him.

02:08Yeah, the record books disagree with Roger Maris.

02:10I don't know what we do about that.

02:11Yeah.

02:12Again, just be consistent.

02:14And I sort of agree with Roger Maris.

02:16Because everyone says, well, these guys are big steroid heads and juicers.

02:22And that's why they can't be in the Hall of Fame.

02:24Okay, I agree with that.

02:25So then why are we keeping their records?

02:28I know.

02:29It's the thing.

02:31Nevertheless, it's just so amazing.

02:33He's still, he's also hitting .310.

02:36I mean, this is...

02:37And, you know, the guy in Minnesota is, I believe, batting three points higher than Aaron Judge right now.

02:45That thing is probably over.

02:47But if that guy plays today and he goes 0 for 4 or 0 for 5, who knows?

02:51Maybe Aaron Judge wins the batting title.

02:52So he could hit another one tonight, right?

02:55He could.

02:56I would imagine he might get the day off.

02:59He might get the day off today.

03:00He's been playing all these games in a row to break this record.

03:03We're going to get a little rest before the playoffs start.

03:05He doesn't really need to play.

03:06And he did the 62.

03:08And that's it.

03:09Hey, you know what?

03:10I'll give the Texas Ranger fan base a lot of credit.

03:12Because, A, unlike the Baltimore Orioles, who should be ashamed of themselves, the Texas Rangers did what we asked.

03:19They are out of it.

03:20They were out of it.

03:21And they throw, threw fastballs.

03:24They challenged them.

03:25They didn't just throw, you know, they didn't throw them right over the plate.

03:27But they threw hard sliders, cutters, and fastballs for strikes.

03:31And then Aaron Judge, so Aaron Judge was allowed to actually hit a strike.

03:36Now, who was the pitcher who gave up the record beating?

03:39I don't know.

03:40He's some no-name bullpen guy.

03:41That's why.

03:42We just spent the last couple of weeks saying, oh, you don't want to be that guy.

03:45Right.

03:45But, no, here's my point.

03:47All the Baltimore Orioles guys were so afraid of that.

03:50I mean, the focus is on Judge.

03:52It wasn't on, you know.

03:53And whoever that guy was, he was some bullpen dude because they did bullpen by committee.

03:58Nevertheless, the Texas Ranger fans did give Aaron Judge a huge ovation.

04:03The entire stadium was applauding him.

04:05They had to stop the game.

04:06That's awesome.

04:07And they all acknowledged it.

04:09All the teammates came out, shook his hand, one by one, gave him hugs.

04:12Right.

04:12It was a really special moment.

04:15You guys see it at all or no?

04:17I just watched it in my office when I got in at 5 o'clock.

04:20Oh, nice.

04:21I just watched it on YouTube.

04:22Oh, jeez.

04:23Earlier in game one, the Yankees beat the Rangers 5-4.

04:27So, that was good.

04:29Today's, again, the final game for the Yankees of the regular season.

04:32And we'll see if Judge plays or not.

04:34It doesn't really matter.

04:35He's got the record.

04:37Mets took down the Nationals 4-2.

04:38Brandon Nimmo homered and drove in three runs.

04:40The Mets looked to stay alive in the NL East.

04:42They trailed the Braves by one game with two games to play.

04:46Phillies were shut out by the Astros 10-0.

04:48But the Phillies have secured a spot in the postseason.

04:50They're feeling pretty good.

04:52Football, Giselle Bunchen has reportedly hired a divorce lawyer.

04:57And Tom Brady is looking for one, too.

04:59More on this in the celebrity news.

05:01And basketball, the NBA season just two weeks away.

05:04According to a poll of NBA general managers,

05:07the Milwaukee Bucks favored to win the title

05:10with the defending champion, Golden State Warriors,

05:13the second most favored team to win.

05:15It makes sense.

05:16Giannis and Steph Curry are probably the two best players in the league.

05:20But don't look past a rejuvenated LeBron James and the Lakers.
