days. major league baseball happeneding out the mvp awards last night. no surprise. aaron judge is the american league mvp. he got 28 of 32 votes. the the cardinals paul gold schmidt taking home the national league award. he s the first to win his mvp after turning 35 years old. judge s a.l. record 62nd home run ball is heading to auction. he turned down $3 million for the ball and decided to send the ball to auction because, quote, it seems fair. in the sense it gives anyone who is interested and has the means the opportunity to own it. huh. i wonder yeah. i would have goon with the 3 million. a bird in the hand. do you think he can get more than 3 million for that? you know, i think he will.
