The Truth About Aaron Judge's 62*, Wenbanyama and Scoot Steal the Show + FOX Soccer analyst Stu Holden

Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on Aaron Judge hitting his 62nd home run of the season. It's a great accomplishment, but the fact remains that Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa all hit more dingers in a single season. So why then are television executives going out of their way to ignore it? Is it because Major League Baseball was complicit in the Steroid Era? Plus, J-Mac does a quick dive into the big showdown between the presumptive #1 and #2 picks in the 2023 NBA Draft - Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson. Big Vic is obviously the crown jewel, but Scoot is no consolation prize. In fact, Jason argues that Henderson is the second-coming of Derrick Rose. Later, FOX Soccer analyst Stu Holden swings by to discuss the US Men’s National Team’s underwhelming outings recently ahead of the upcoming World Cup, how he sees the final roster coming together and which potential lineup issues they could face, what we can expect from this young team in their first World Cup, the keys to getting out of group play, the steady growth of Major League Soccer here in the United States, and much more!
