An outstanding season, no question about that.

I think it is the greatest season by a Yankee since Mantle in 1956. I would take some seasons by Ted Williams over this, and certainly some by Hornsby over this. Great season, but in my mind far from the best ever.

Mantle in 57 had an on base percentage over 50 percent. I think his WAR was the same as 56. Ted's was even higher, almost 53 percent, and he hit .388 too.

you are right those were great season.

Judges was not the Greatest but it was special and memorable. Especially to me
1. Breaking the AL record
2. 23 Homers more than 2nd place Trout
3. 30 more Runs scored than 2nd place Altuve

now the real question is how close will the MVP voting be between Judge and Ohtani
