The Holland Hitchhikers' Aaron Judge sets the single-season HR record for the Boys of Summer APBA Baseball League with 58 home runs. The league witnessed his hot second-half surge, watching him pass his real-life MLB teammate Stanton -- while breaking Chris Davis' HR mark of 56. Davis accomplished the feat as a member of Chris Baier's San Diego Heroes in 2013.
Giancarlo Stanton of the Traverse City Panthers was once on pace for 66 home runs. He hit HR #52 on the 128th game of the season, but would only hit 4 more homers the rest of the way (during the 34-game stretch). He did end up tying Davis' old record mark with 56 for the season.
For Judge, he gives the Hitchhikers a little something to celebrate, since they lost out on the final N.L. playoff spot to division rival Spring Branch Duffers.
Meanwhile, Giancarlo & the Panthers finished with the best record in the entire league, sporting a 107-55 record, as they were the only team to reach the century mark.
The American League had a wild finish as the three playoff teams all finished with a 93-69 record, the A.L. East had to play a one-game playoff to determine the division winner, which ended up being the Corktown Tamales (over the Swatara Eliminators). The Fairgrove Tigers who won the A.L. West (yet again), finished as the #1 seed.
