He played recently, maybe Mark Tex……

Great guess, not quite. Same general era of the Yankees

Now I'm thinking A-Rod. Although Teixeira is a solid guess too

Bingo, A-Rod was DFA'd and released and Judge was brought up. According to the article I found with it, A-Rod asked for the release because he knew he was likely done for anyways and wanted to go out on his terms

That was a tough one. The thing that eventually led me to him was when someone said he was better than Bernie Williams.

It was such an insignificant move at the time because A-Rod was struggling so badly and then Judge didn't exactly come up and light the world on fire for the last month and a half that I never would have guessed it if I hadn't read it

I know Brandon Crawford hit a slam for his first HR. Don’t remember any fan fair around his 100th, though.

I remember there being something about Judges 1st HR, but that may just be that he hit his first the same day that his teammate hit his as well.

This is not one that can be thought through. This is the kind of trivia that you know or you don’t. Period.
