Don Slaught played just two seasons for the Yankees. Despite the short tenure, he is forever linked with Billy Martin’s last turn as Yankees manager.
Aaron Judge is turning walk-off home runs into a routine. Judge hit his major league-leading 39th home run for his third walk-off long ball this season, lifting the New York Yankees past the Kansas City Royals 1-0 on Thursday night. New York was held to one hit before Judge drove a first-pitch fastball from Scott Barlow into the Kansas City bullpen with one out in the ninth, a 431-foot drive.
