Judge is only playing because he's going for the home run record. The Yankees place in the playoffs has been set, so typically the stars get rested during this time. Otherwise he would probably be in the lead right now because he hasn't hit anything but air in the last two games. He only looks like the hero in the batting race because he wants a home run record he already owns with the tie.

Please check out my books on baseball history. They include the bio of star second baseman Dots Miller. A book featuring 20 Moonlight Graham players who got into just one game. Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
