Surely, Ohtani will celebrate with his entourage, the world champion Dodgers, in a party that should last well into tomorrow morning, via the International Date Line.
As for Judge, I hope he gets a night off, an evening of joy... respite?
I hope he takes his family out for dinner, orders a nice plate of clams, or fava beans, or whatever he loves, and conversations stick to Capitals of the World, Actors and Their Roles, and Potent Potables. I hope he gets a private back room, where no fans can see him and, as a result, it never comes up, not once, no mention of it.
I hope he gets laid. Yeah, Judge deserves a great night, a perfect sunset and a solid night's sleep. He earned this honor. It should be a time of joy, and nobody should mention the, uh... thing.
This should be a time for Judge to reflect upon all that happened in 2024, the many great games, the home runs and not dwell upon - um - you, know, whatever. Nobody needs to go there.
Everybody, move along, there's nothing to see here. We've all had our moments at the lectern, we've all grabbed the microphone, we've said our peace, as hurtful as we could be. I think it's time to leave the greatest Yankee player of this millennium - yes, greater than a certain former captain - to enjoy a well deserved award. That means stuffing a cork in it, okay? We don't have to mention it.
Can you do that? Just once? Do we need to constantly relive, um, certain things?
Congrats to the Captain. And better luck next year.

The guy missed an easy liner and opened the floodgates. But hey, could happen to anybody.
That's true. Nothing to see here. Nothing at all. Certainly, no parades.
Besides, he gets paid to hit home runs. Not catch easy liners that hit him in the glove. So let's not even mention it.
Humina humina humina...
Exactly. The small details.
Maybe we can sign Captain Video this winter.
Sign who...?
The guy who wrote Swanee River.
Well, the MVP is based on the regular season only, which is good for him.
And thus endeth The Honeymooners references.
There's a pretty good "hummina hummina" here also.
It was a terrible error. That meant anything only because of another terrible error, a complete mental breakdown, and our manager's idiocy. And even after that...we might not have won a damned thing.
This isn't Buckner. Congratulations, Aaron Judge. Now let's sign Soto.
Aaron Judge unanimously wins the MVP. Congratulations to him!
And Judge got it. Good for him. I love Judge. For me something is missing. He was totally invisible in the post season. The paly by him in the fifth inning of game five was horrible. Did Munson., Jeter, Mantle, etc.., ever make a misplay like that? The answer is no.
You never know what would have happened if Judge simply caught a ball that he normally can catch in his sleep. It's an outsized mistake BECAUSE it was so unexpectedly botched. Buckneresque? Probably not. Another nail in his postseason legacy? Oh, yeah.
